    Need WinXP drivers for my Pavillion dv2000t

    This dv2000t came with Vista installed but Vista is now broken and erased. I installed WinXP in place of Vista and I notice many of the hardware devices show yellow question mark icons in Windows device manager. The yellow question mark means no driver is installed for the device. I went to the HP driver download page (using a different computer because no network driver for the dv2000t) and I found MANY drivers for dv2000t hardware devices for which I have no driver. I can't tell which specific drivers I need. For example there are drivers for more than one type of network adapter but I don't know which adapter is in my dv2000t. Also the same situation for other hardware devices with missing drivers: the HP site has multiple drivers available and I don't know which one I need. OK

    OK there is a service tag on the dv2000t which says:
    SERIAL #: 2CE71317GD
    PART #: RM669AV

    Is there somewhere HP lists which driver files correspond to my SERIAL# and PART# ??? Can somebody here help me out with this?

    TIA Bill S.

    Your model is dv2200 CTO, for CTO models HP list all of the available and possible drivers.
    You need to check by yourself which one was installed in your machine.
    Thats the beauty of CTO, choose by your own :)

    Good luck
