    I'm trying to reinstall vista on a HP dv9000 series for someone. The problem is though that the person did not make any recovery disks for Vista. So I'm left to install from scratch. I have found most of the drivers for that system on HP's site, but the problem I'm having is that when I try to install Vista it sees the harddrive during the initial check but not when I tell it to begin the installation.

    The message it gives me is that it could not find a valid system volume. I've searched online and from my search its seems that though the vista installation disk has detected the harddrive it does not have the necessary drives for the chipset the laptop is using.

    I'd like if someone could tell me where I can find the AMD Sata drivers for HP dv9000 series. I've tried looking on HP's site but most the drivers were for XP and those I did find for vista only support the Compaq series not the Pavilion Series.
