    My friend just got her CTO dv4t today. Now I have the job to do clean install on it. I am burning the recovery DVD's right now and am downloading the drivers from HP website. The problem is, HP has not listed all the drivers on dv4t-1300 CTO notebook. Very important drivers are missing from the drivers download page. So I went to the other dv4t notebooks (like CTO 1000,1100,1200 etc) driver download sections and downloaded the wireless and MediaSmart smartmenu+webcam+DVD drivers. But I am still missing these ones:

    -DigitalPersona 4 (Only v3.1 is available on the download pages)
    -HP MediaSmart Music/Photo/Video (Coundn't find it at all on any dv4t downloads)
    -HP QuickLaunch Button 6.40L1 (Only 6.40H is listed)
    -ProtectSmart HardDrive Protection (Couldn't find it at all on any of dv4t downloads)

    Can you please guide me where can I download these from??

    Also, In device Manager, under 'Mice and other pointing devices', currently it lists Alps and HID-compliant mouse. Similarly under 'Sound, video' it lists IDT HD codec and Intel HD audio. Why are there 2 devices listed under these items, whereas on my dv6700 it only lists one. Could I face any kind of drivers issue after clean install due to these??


    Update: I checked SWsetup folder and I found the necessary drivers, but I am still confused about the two mice and audio items in device manager.
