You should have checked with HP before trying to downgrade. You need drivers for the video, sound, modem (if installed), etc. I didn't find any model number 3500 but looking at 350l I found
Select software and drivers*. The link is for XP that was already installed on the product. You should call HP and see if it can be done.
