    ah yes, there are a couple of great guides out there, and im in the process of making one too.....

    damn wish i did it sooner so i can help you out.
    here are links to my drivers:
    Wireless XP Drivers
    Wireless Assistant (for turning on and off Bluetooth at will)
    Modem Drivers
    Quicklaunch buttons
    Card Reader
    Webcam
    Bluetooth
    Realtek drivers
    Realtek Drivers2 (i think you need both... get both just incase)
    Realtek WDM drivers for HD Audio
    Windows UAA Drivers (needed for audio)
    SATA drivers (Slipstream into WINXP Disk)
    Chipset drivers (install first... dont know why its at end of list)
    WORKING!!! Drivers for your nVidia cards

    what are you specs? those are important as well.

    check out my thread as well... the last page. it has my rough draft of my guide. :) the most important part is the order

    Hi
    I've recently bought the same notebook as Kunio - HP dv9500ew with
    AMD Athlon 64 TK-53 1,7 Ghz
    GeForce 7510M

    Obviously I really would like to intstall XP intead of Vista but i could'n find all drivers. SATA driver is not the same for AMD and for Intel am I right?

    please for help...

    2nd, your laptop doesnt need SATA drivers.

    i've read it, but there are solutions for laptops with intel chipset. It doesn't matter?

    most of the drivers will work. just dont install the intel CPU driver and dont install the SATA driver provided. you will have to disable native SATA support in your BIOS. then find the ICH7M SATA driver and install it once you install Windows XP.

    but i could't find this option "disable native SATA" in my bios. are you sure that dv6500ew has that function?

    p.s. i'm sorry i don't have dv9500ew but dv6500ew. i've mixed up these two models, dont know why :)
