    Hello,

    does anyone know are HP DV5T series laptops compatible with Windows XP? Are there any drivers or anything else on the WWW to make compatible them with WIN XP?

    Thank You for your responses

    If you have any Intel products like the 5100agn, Intel chipset or the integrated graphics, you can get these drivers on the Intel Website.

    Not sure about the rest though. There's a thread where someone got most things to work except for bluetooth. You might want to look around, it's here on the HP thread somewhere.

    I'm about to get a dv5t as well and I'm planning to dual boot Vista x64 and XP x86 like on my current notebook.
