HP Pavilion dv9000 laptop/notebook...vista to xp so LOST

I have a
HP Pavilion 9000 laptop
AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology Tl-56 1.80 GHz
2GB RAM
Vista Home Premium 32bit OS (came preinstalled,and have a recovery dvd)


I have uninstalled my Vista many times to try and downgrade to Windows XP sp2. It always goes through, but the internet and sound never work, and I guessed I needed to download drivers, but without internet how is that possible? I downloaded drivers from the HP website and put them on my external harddrive and tried that, but no go. I tried using my recovery dvd to locate drivers, but that doesnt work, it's like bootable kind of dvd only not sure how to explain it. I've read around that buying an XP recovery disc would do what I would want hassle free, but is there a working way without having to buy one of those discs?

 

I had the same problem with my Presario c551nr... the HP site said they are XP drivers but none of them worked... after a lot of google serching i found the right drivers... ill go on a quick hunt to see if i can find anything for you!

Edit:
Just did a quick serch... find out your exact model number and then i will look some more... the model number should be on the back...

 

the model # is just dv9000...on the top corner of my monitor display it says "HP Pavilion dv9000"

the stuff on the back is my serial number and microsoft product keys

 

Boys, read the stickies. Please. Pretty please.

 

i read the stickies....the only relevent thread said for dvx500t models...this is dv9000....sorry im kind of new around here and lost

 

They all use similar hardware. Just go from there.

 

If you have a dv9000 series the ethernet is integarted in the chipset and all you need are the Nvidia Nforce chipset drivers. These should also install the ethernet drivers...

thank you i will give that a try!

 

you have saved me with just that one driver! thank you soooo much everything is now solved and working =]!!!

 

does anyone know where to find the xp ethernet drivers for dv9000t

 

The dv9000t should be using the Intel Pro 100/10 or the Pro 1000/100/10 ethernt from Intel. Hp has the drivers necessary on the downloads page for the dv900t or you can download them direct from Intel.

 

I've tried the ones from HP both /100 and /1000 with no luck. All I can see in the device manager is a 1394 Network adapter but that doesn't even exist.

 

Did you try the ones from Intel??

1394 refers to the Firewire port.

 

Cant seem to find the PRO/1000 theres too many type with the same name

 

hello... i'm realy new in this place... and i don't get what you mean ?? what is "stickies" ???

i change my vista to XP (sp2) an it doesn't recognized eny of my hard... no video, no oudio, no lan, no wireless, no webcam and so on... i find drivers for qiuck play, wireless and webcam in HP officeal site... but no others...
