Installing Windows XP on the Intel based dvx500t Series

Thanks for the feedback. I used a MSDN version of Windows with SP2. I used the most recent driver pack provided in this thread (what ever was the most up-to date 1 month ago). I'll download whatever is current atm and go with that like you said.


By QP buttons, I meant media buttons (play, volume etc.) The QP button isnt working ofc ;-) Sorry for misleading you.

Thx agian.

Hello,

I have just bought an HP Pavilion dv6516tx Notebook with Vista Home Premium Edition.

I wanted to install Windows XP onto it and remove Vista (formatting HDD, partitioning it properly and then install XP).

I wanted to confirm if I download drivers for individual components, like video, audio, Webcam, Quickplay, modem, wireless, bluetooth etc from respective authors (nVidia, Realtek, Lightscribe DVD etc) and install them manually, will I be able to get the notebook working or do I need to get it done given in the tutorial at the beginning?

Sorry for my ignorance, but that seemed to be a very long process!!!

 

You wont be able to install XP on to the system without slipstreaming SATA drivers. This first step is absolutely necessary. After that you can find drivers from anywhere and install. Do note that nvidia does not support mobile graphics cards, so any driver you download from them wont install directly, you will have to modify the inf file first before installing the driver.

 

Hello mujjuman, I read your quide, it's fantastic, but, I have HP Pavilion 6580 with AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-56 1.8GHz and I want to ask, if it's ok, or if there would by any problems with using your XP driver pack ? Can you help me please. Thank you so much !

 

Yes and No. Some of the drivers like the HP webcam, touchpad, multimedia card reader, Nvidia graphics *might* be similar between the Intel and AMD versions but dont use the Intel chipset drivers. I am not quite sure if they use the same audio/modem chip but its a toss up. I would try some of them at the very worst you will have to reinstall XP to remove the bad drivers.

Since you have a Nvidia chipset based system, you can download the Nvidia nforce chipset drivers from nvidia. This should also take care of the ethernet. as for as wireless is concerned you should have a Broadcom card and depending on the model of the card HP might have Xp drivers for it.

 

Hello,

I've followed the instructions on the post. Everything went smooth but in my device manager I see "Standard floppy disk controller (!)" This device cannot start (Code 10).

The problem is that I don't have a floppy drive.

Also bluetooth is not working.

My system is DV2550en

I'll appreciate any ideas.

Thanks

 

Ok, I've downloaded driver for Turion X2, the rest od drivers should be the same , I hope so . Can you tell me exactly, which nforce driver should I download ? Thanks

 

Hmm...looks like Nvidia hasnt yet released the mobile drivers for the 630M series. They have one for the older series Go430 series. You could try these or search for XP drivers from other OEMs(Acer/Asus for example) who might be using the same chipset and have the XP drivers available for download.

 

Just to let everyone know I just uploaded the Driver Pack to a second download link!

This one should be free of download limitations. Special thanks to Hansmsat!

Just to reiterate, I will be resigning my Driver Pack over to whomever is willing to keep it updated, I believe Mujjuman has decided to take it upon himself to update it until HP adds official XP support for this series. (If/when they do)

 

thank you Hackez and Hansmsat!!

and yes as of now, updating the driver pack is my responsibility.

thank you for initially starting the very sophisticated driver packs Hackez.

updated OP with new link

 

Even in XP (partition D:\), default location for driver files is C:\SWSetup. Is there a recommended destination folder for the driver files?

Thanks,

MCM

 

HACKEZ-

Your 10 repair story is quite discouraging/encouraging to hear (depending on one's perspective). It's the replacement notebook HP sent me that got me into this thread in the first place! The hardware is superior without question, but the fact that I was forced to "upgrade" to Vista is where I have the greatest problem. The software my company uses is not compatible with Vista and I need to have access through the VPN. Going on 3 months now without remote access...

 

Hi,
i have downloaded the latest drive pack but i saw the same hp webcamera drivers with previous and no any webcam software. My camera can't take a photo but it can takes a video very good..

 

I initially started with a DV8000T myself, eventually receiving w DV9500T. But even with the free upgrades and better performance I always had issues with the Notebook so finally they just issued me a refund.

 

hi mcmitch2112....i am using a dv2533tx...i've downgraded from vista xp successfully...i now have the need to install win2000server also as a dual boot....can u plzz help me out here....tx in advance...

 

there isnt an official recommended destination folder. the swsetup folder is just where the drivers are extracted. they are installed in other folders.

however, i recommend that the destination folder by in a swsetup folder that is in the XP partition (whether its C or D)

 

Sorry guys.......... I have a questions....let's say my Xp Media center edition got 2 CD ....How I can slipstream SATA driver to it as well as SERVICE PACK 2......Can I just do the same thing like the guide for DISK 1 and do not need to do anything with disk 2......or I have to copy everything from DISK 1 and DISK 2 into the same folder and then slipstream SATA driver with SERVICE PACK 2.......thanks in advance

 

im not experienced in XP Media Center Edition....

whats on disk 1 and whats on disk 2?

try slipstreaming to disk 1 and just skip disk 2

 

I just installed PowerDVD, and I want to launch if when I press the DVD button on the HP quickkey, but nothing happens. The play, stop buttons work though. How are you using the DVD button? And is there a way you can assign something else to the HP QuickPlay button (next to the DVD HP button) as well? I don't want those to go to a waste.

 

thanks mujjuman.... I have managed to solve it.....at first i copy all the files from 2 disks into 1 folders......then after that i slipstream them......i think MCE version is quite nice.....thanks for supporting me..

 

how would it work to reinstall xp on a 8510p that came with xp and not with vista?

 

a dv8000? it will be similar to this method, but DO NOT use the drivers from this thread.

here are the steps:

• download the drivers from the hp website. burn a CD
  hp drivers for dv8000 CTO
• disable SATA support in your BIOS
• install XP using an XP CD
• install SATA drivers, and all other drivers
• you can also slipstream the SATA driver before install XP but i dont know which driver it is for the dv8000

 

oh nooo not a dv8000 an 8510p, would it still work howver?

 

The SATA integration steps should be similar, but since HP has from the looks of it all the necessary drivers for Win XP located here. Download and install them from there instead of the drivers pack.

 

but i heard there were drivers that could result in loss of sound, anyway around that?

 

ohhhh thanks for the clear up

 

I have the same laptop and I resolved the issue by installing the "Intel Chipset Drivers" from the Driver pack (the display properties were reseted, but that's not a big deal).

 

I've been greatly helped by this amazing thread, many thanks to all of you guys putting in time. By now, I just have little "?" in my device manager, and it's the ethernet manager (or similar, I'm running a swedish XP), and I suppose this is the network card. I've tried to use the drivers included in the pack in this thread (Realtek Ethernet Drivers), but after installation, nothing appears in the folders I install to.

Any ideas of what could be wrong or tips of alternate drivers?
I'm running a HP dv6288ea btw...

 

You have a dv6000t not a dv6500 series notebook. thats why the network drivers wont work. Try the Intel 10/100 or 10/100/1000 ethernet drivers located here...

miner: you've just made someone much happier, worked like a charm, many thanks!

 

Thanks this work , my hp is dv6575

 

Thanks for the effort and time for putting this. Just got a dv9500t for my bro and did the clean install...

Cheers

 

For those who like to enable the Quickplay buttom in your dv9500t (already tested nas worked) after install Windows XP.

Please tell me who is the person i have to send the installer to post it in the forum?

It just allow me to upload 438KB and the file its 72.6MB i know its kind of big, so what can we do?

 

i have the files, but i havent tested it yet. i am really busy with work (2 jobs now) and with college. this is why i havent been able to update the thread when i said i will, and this is why i havent been posting much. please allow me to test this out on my free time and confirming that it truly works before posting the QP files.

 

mujjuman, hackez, and everyone else: You can go to http://hp-drivers.hansmast.com and navigate to the subfolder if you want to just download the drivers individually instead of the whole driver pack.

 

hey everyone,
first off I want to say thanks to mujjuman and hackez for the awesome guide!
But I am having one issue. The wireless driver doesnt seem to be working for me. After I install the driver, it comes up and says I have a Broadcom Wireless LAN b/g card, but there is a yellow exclamation mark next to it meaning the driver is "corrupted or improperly installed"
I have uninstalled, then reinstalled the driver a couple of times just to be sure it wasnt "improperly installed" but that didnt seem to help... Heh. Any advice on what I can do to fix it? I would hate to have to go back to windows vista

Thanks!!

 

OMG im an idiot... i have the dv6000 laptop and all the drivers are on HP's website... flame on, LoL.

 

ok, since my google-fu has failed me on this one, here's the question.
how to get ethernet working on win xp with pavilion 6580?
i've tried the xp chipset drivers from hp's and from nvidia's site, but they didn't work. 32-bit vista drivers didn't work either and i've also tried realtek drivers with no success, just in case.
does anyone know the solution for this?

 

did u use the drivers from this thread? or is the ethernet driver different than the 9500 for the6500

 

Has anybody tried these directions/drivers with the DV2620. I'm thinking about getting one but I of course would want to run XP.

AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58 1.9G / NVIDIA GeForce 7150M

 

check the OP. there is a section for dv2500

 

Hey guys, going a little off topic though but I am kinda stuck here...I have a DV 6500 SE and now my dvd rom's region locked...I am in India and it got locked onto region 5 I think....It would be wonderful if somebody could redirect me to a region free firmware or something..any help would be highly appreciated..THNX

(I this this is what my device manager shows me : Slimtype DVD A DS8A1H)

 

there is some software that will allow you to watch DVDs while bypassing the Region Code.

 

Hi guys,
I just bought HP Pavillion dv6626us with Intel core 2 duo. I was referred to this amazing tutorial by a friend and was just wondering that will the SATA drivers provided here will work with my laptop or not?

 

Nevermind, it didn't work with the non-beta version, but seemed to have worked with new RC2 version. It's formatting the drive now, so didnt find the HDD problem is solved. Now the hard part after fresh installtion, Installing drivers. One more question guys, I am using XP Media Center SP2 provided by DELL. Will it give me trouble as i am installing it on HP's laptop.
Also, I don't like the Media Center anyways cuz of the Media Center Home as I dont watch TV on pc. Is there a way to delete all the crap and make it a professional xp?
