XP on DV4-1155se? desperately need help

so i tried to downgrade from vista to xp, i inserted the disk, and bam blue screen, so i decided to enter the bios, but there is no option of changing to ACHI IDE OR ATA

ive been googling like crazy, and even went to the official hp site, but they only have one driver for xp. so im hoping you guys know how to downgrade to xp because ive been to this site to help me with my m8120nse and my 2 inspirons, thanks

HARD DRIVE- TOSHIBA MK3252GSX ATA Device

DVD DRIVE- TSST CDDVDW TS-L633L ATA Device

WIRELESS LAN- Broadcom 4322AG

ETHERNET- Realtek RTL8102E PCI-E

PROCESSOR- AMD TURION x2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile ZM-82

SOUND- i have no clue

thanks and good luck

 

cmon anyone? there has to be at least one person who knows

 

Yeah, not sure why HP decided not to offer IDE, it's only a case of changing one bit in the nvram to enable it instead of AHCI.

Okay, the first thing you'll need to do is stream the AHCI drivers with the XP installation disk onto a new CD. Look for 'nLite' and the latest <strike>Intel</strike> ATI AHCI drivers, <strike>you will probably want the ICH9M driver </strike>. Try googling nlite + xp + ahci x86. Once you have XP installed it's then a case of finding the necessary drivers, again google is your friend. There is also a DV4t thread on this forum which may be worth trying.

Just a correction, the OP has an ATi chipset not Intel, so he/she will need to slipstream ATi SATA drivers.

HP sells business class notebooks like the 6535b with the same ATi chipset and Win XP. They do provide the SATA drivers for this chipset on the support site for those notebooks. Either slipstream that driver or try out Gigabytes SATA drivers as well. The Catalyst drivers from game.amd.com should work for the HD3200 and many of the Vista drivers should work fine in XP.

 

Oops... my bad, thanks for the correction.

 

thanks for the replies! uh how would i slipstream the sata drivers? arent they supposed to be .inf format(using nLite), doesnt seem right to just extract and find only 1inf, because i remembering doing intel and they had like a million to choose from

when i installed the sata driver for 6535b it said trusted platform module could not be found, i downloaded the xp version FYI, but im on vista

 

does the tx2500z have the same chipset as my dv4-1155se? (chipset= cpu right?) if so cant i download the sata drivers from http://tx2500z.googlepages.com/home

 

Yeah, that should work. The chipset is the processor which simply put helps between the communication between the cpu and the components. The tx2500 shares majority of the hardware, so any of those drivers should work fine in your dv4z. As far as the 6535b ATi drivers are concerned are you looking at the right drivers? This is the one you need to slipstream the SATA drivers using nlite...

(download the extract the file and then use the infs extratecd in nlite)

 

wow miner you are a GENIUS, you don't know how happy i am after so many hours of searching up google and burning many disks of slipstreamed xp, the driver he posted http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...tem=ob-64232-1
is in fact the correct driver for the dv4-1155se


edit: all i need is the memory stick reader and sound now, and im done, i do have a sound icon on the bottom right but i hear nothing, and also my touch thingy is glowing red on the mute button. but isnt on the system tray. i can mute it though , but the red thing just doesnt go away, also im not able to control the brightness (FN f7/f8)

one more thing i have a yellow exclamation in my device driver "IDT High Definition AUdio CODEC" it has a code 10

i have these http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g140/mrtuhwee/yellowexclamationandquestionmarks.jpg

 

cmon minor where are you when i need you =/

 

hey oogawooga... I have the same problem ... also If you can help me I have also a pavilion dv4-1155se but I lost the recovery partition... will there be a way you can send me the isos or the apps of the recovery... because i want to have the 64-bit OS int he future...

thank you...

why dont you try forcing the drivers you already have of vista... to xp...

i mean..like you install them regardless it is not vista... but be sure to download the ones of 32bit because I think as mine thati came with 64bit...

so try that and see how it works.. I will try it myself

 

With the correct working audio drivers the button shouldnt glow red. Try these IDT drivers which work on the dv5t which seems to have the same audio device as yours...

The brightness and other Fn keys are controlled by the Quicklaunch buttons software. The vista version should also be compatible with XP. Download that from the downloads section on HP.com

 

okay i got everything working now except the brightness control and yes i did download the quicklaunch software, for vista and xp, and i still cant contorl the brightness

 

okay i lied, all fn works cept the brightness control, any suggestions? if not is there a way to do this without the FN?

 

bumpp, please helpp!

 

Did your dv4 ship with the quick touch software? If so, try installing that and see if it helps any...

well i downloaded that file already, and that didnt work, ill try my disk, arg no luck cuz i dont have the disk

 

there is a way you can do it in xp..

you go to power options and select the brightness of your screen ... you can do this by going into advanced power options and modify it...


thank you ...

men about those recovery disks
I really need those and HP dont want to send them to me in mexico ...

thank you

 

still the brightness will not work despite using all your suggested methods, any other ways to resolve this issue? Thanks!

 

problem resolved haha... after messing around for awhile, i finally got the function to increase the brightness to my laptop to work. I can only do it upon start up before the xp logo starts to load, so i just turn on my laptop and adjust immediately according to my preferences and from there on proceed. Changing the brightness after start up will not work, but just a simple restart and another adjustment will do the job! Thanks everyone for the help!
