    Sooo heres the deal. I bought a DV2000t off someone, and he formatted the HD before he sent it to me.

    So it has no Operating System when I get it...and the HP Recovery CD he sent along with it wont work.

    I Use my cousins XP Professional CD and install XP with his cd key (the one on the bottom of the notebook wont work, beats me why)

    Anyways, I finally get XP installed and I'm windows...now I cant get anything to work. Cant get online, i dont think the wireless drivers are set up, or sound...or video drivers....and I have no idea how I can get this back to normal...


    any suggestions??
