    I just bought a dv2718us from HP, which came installed with Vista. I successfully installed XP on it, but when I did, my device manager showed a slew of unrecognised devices. I also see only a few drivers on HP's page for XP: HP software update, launch buttons update and LightScribe software. Nothing I actually need, such as wireless, graphics (which I'm sure I can get from Nvidia anyway, just need to get wireless working). Anybody have any idea how one would go about installing XP on this notebook? Thanks.
