    Need Help on DV2130us drivers

    For some reason I lost my H/D on my DV2130us HP laptop. After reading all of the horrible experiences with HP customer care I decided to fix it myself. So i bought a new H/D from Newegg and replaced it with no problems.

    Here is where my problems start. I go grab my recovery discs I made like 5 months back and they do not work. For some reason or another they are corrupted. So i try to install my XP copy of my home pc. I proceed to follow the instrucitons here about slipstreaming and I end up slipstreaming the SATA drivers to my XP disc.

    I finally install XP on the laptop and do not have the drivers because my H/D is no good and my recovery discs are corrupt. I go to the HP website and download the drivers and 1/2 of them do not work. I then try drivers for the DV6000 series and everything seems fine and 1 day later get some BSOD's.

    This laptop has me stumped. I also own a Dell Latitude D620 and man the HP looks better but the Dell is 10x a better laptop than the HP.

    I just got off of the phone with their outsourced support and the service is Horrible. I was trying to get recoevery cd's and it feels like a nightmare.


    Does anyone have a Dv2130us that can give me the drivers somehow?

    Most of the drivers have been compiled in the stickies. Please read them.
