    Has anyone successfully installed XP or XP Pro onto this?

    I have a dv7-1135nr which I desparately want to install XP onto even if audio doesnt work. I will suffice by dual booting. Let me know where u found the SATA drivers if so. My XP Pro and XP Ultimate by Johnny CDs keep giving my BSOD so I'm guessing its the SATA Drivers.
