    Managed to get the xp installation to complete successfully by putting the sata driver into the xp cd.
    Unfortunately when I boot xp normally I get the BSOD immediately after the Windows splash screen!
    Similarly during the next boot the safe mode page is displayed “Windows did not start….” However it will NOT boot into Safe Mode either. Shows the list of drivers loading and stops at mup.sys and you guessed it BSOD.
    I Googled mup.sys “So, What happens after we see the mup.sys driver load on a safe mode boot? The windows OS is looking in the registry, executing PnP (Plug and pray) and ACPI routines checking the components and resources found………..”
    In other words it could take 100 years to figure this out! Sure don’t what to give up though.
    Any thoughts or suggestions for me to try please?

    I hope you get the system up and running, because my dv5-1003 is awaiting a solution too :lol:

    I've tried unsuccessfully to get XP installed, and I can't. I work with computers for my job and even im stumped!

    Please keep us updated, I really only want a dv5t if XP can fully run on it (all drivers working 100%). Else I will have to settle for the older series. Can anyone else help out with XP on a dv5t? This is the last piece of info I am waiting on before buying.

    Finally got it working!
    The big picture is to get the SATA HD drivers going in a twofold manor. First to make the SATA HD available so you have a place to install XP (Text Mode driver install TXTSETUP.SIF) and then to permanently force the install of the drivers so that XP will boot after the install (WINNT.SIF OemDrivers and OemInfFiles). I did Not use nLite, I edited the XP CD ISO file with UltraISO manually.
    Here is the GUIDE I basicly followed, there are many others too. Just substitude the AMD/ATI info.
    http://www.planetamd64.com/index.php?showtopic=8532
    Expand the ATI package from here to get the drivers
    http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/integrated-xp
    •Locate driver in RAID7xx folder
    •Copy ONLY the ahcix86.sys to I386 folder on CD
    •Edit your TXTSETUP.SIF (I386 folder CD) adding each line to each section:
    Code:
    [SourceDisksFiles]
    ahcix86.sys = 1,,,,,,_x,4,1
    [HardwareIdsDatabase]
    PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4391&SUBSYS_30F2103C = "ahcix86"
    [SCSI.load]
    ahcix86 = ahcix86.sys,4
    [SCSI]
    ahcix86 = "AMD AHCI Compatible RAID Controller"
    •Create the \$OEM$\$$\OEMDIR folders in root directory on the CD.
    •Place ahcix86.sys, ahcix86.cat, ahcix86.inf in the oemdir above.
    •In the i386 folder Edit the winnt.sif per below.
    •I used following winnt.sif for good measure, it has an error and will stop the install so you can manually add your user name and computer name once that has been done the install continues fine.
    Add your product key to this winnt.sif in place of the xxxxx-xxxxx-..:
    Code:
    ;SetupMgrTag
    [Data]
        OemDrivers=OemInfFiles
        MsDosInitiated="0"
        UnattendedInstall="Yes"
        
    [Unattended]
        OemPreinstall=Yes
        TargetPath=\WINDOWS
        DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
        NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
    
    [OemInfFiles]
        OemDriverFlags=1
        OemDriverPathName="%SystemRoot%\OemDir"
        OemInfName="ahcix86.inf"
        
    [GuiUnattended]
        AdminPassword=*
        EncryptedAdminPassword=NO
        OEMSkipRegional=1
        TimeZone=85
        OemSkipWelcome=1
    
    [UserData]
        ProductKey="xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx"
        
    [RegionalSettings]
        LanguageGroup=1,7,11
    Save and burn the ISO to CD.

    As for the other drivers only did two so far:
    Choose Display Driver (Catalyt 8.4) from here:
    http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/xp/previous/integrated/integrated-cat84-xp.html
    The Atheros AR5007 Wireless Driver for Vista works (also contains XP):
    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp39001-39500/sp39403.exe

    Yes I did find the XP audio driver for the dv5-1002nr. Actually it was right under my nose in the folder that came with the machine, SWsetup, I had saved that before re-formatting the HDD.

    Nevermind again, one was the ENE CIR driver

    one of the various packages out there has something that will work for XP, the other was the Quick Access Keys or whatever, got those working also. Not got the remote figured out yet

    Thx to Kingtutnet for his instructions!! I got XP working on my dv5 1002nr only hours after the best buy geek told me it wasn't possible. Where there's a will there's a way!!

    There are still 6 items in device manager that need drivers. I need help finding drivers for:
    Ethernet controller
    Audio
    Touchpad **Edit, I used the vista driver from HP support and it worked fine
    and I have 2 unknown devices still.

    mines installing as i type this, im going to dual boot until i can find all the drivers. I think i have an idea of what the unknown drivers are. One's another wireless (i think, i cant remember) and the other is for the touch pad at the top of the keyboard. When i did a clean vista install i grabbed drivers from HP's site for this laptop model and those drivers were unknown devices. I had to download drivers for another HP laptop.

    for those who have working drivers, could you list your sources to obtain them?
    edit:
    I have 2 drivers left so far
    SM System Bus
    Unknown Device

    The unknown device I believe is HP's ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection.
    Also my audio works but sounds horrible. I got whatever drivers I could from HP, and then ran Windows update which puts me here.

    I can be reached on AIM and MSN ...details in my sig

    You seem to be a step ahead of my flipfont. Do you recall where you got your ethernet driver? my wireless works, but not the ethernet port.

    I still need drivers for
    2 PCI Devices
    SM Bus Controller
    2 Unknown devices
    Ethernet Controller

    Only thing left for me in device manager is "Unknown Device"

    My audio is working but makes popping sounds occasionally. I haven't tested the microphone or audio out ports though. Anyone have ideas with that? I think I got the wrong driver along the way, and dont have access to SWSetup that originally came with the laptop. This driver was provided by Windows Update.

    I got the SM Bus controller by installing the ATI software posted earlier that included the south bridge driver.

    My IR remote seems to work perfectly.

    The QuickTouch buttons located on the top of the keyboard works fine, but the mute button refuses to change colors. Any suggestions anyone?

    I tried another build:
    http://www.allyoulike.com/?p=4204
    and added the changes to the files, however this build didn't have the winnt.sif file so i just used the txtsetup.sif and saved as to winnt.sif used mr.tuts text.
    I hope someone puts a guide together with the links to and names of all the appropriate drivers with the how to slipstream them either manual or with nlite if appropriate.

    Yes, my install disk didn't have the winnt.sif either, so you just have to create it manually. Don't forget to add your XP key in winnt.sif file.

    First time I tried Kingtutnet's method I got a BSoD just as he described in his first post, after the initial xp splash screen. The mistake I made was on this step "Create the \$OEM$\$$\OEMDIR folders in root directory on the CD." Make sure you create 3 separate folders "$OEM$" "$$" and "OEMDIR" and put the files in the OEMDIR one. I made a bonehead mistake of creating one folder called "\$OEM$\$$\OEMDIR" in the root directory of the cd.

    Once you get into XP you can install the ATI Drivers here.
    http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/integrated-xp
    The Southbridge driver will get rid of the SM BUS yellow device in Device mgr.

    You can download the Quick Launch drivers from the HP site, it's the only driver they have listed under XP. The touchpad driver - I used the Vista 32 bit version

    The Atheros AR5007 Wireless Driver for Vista works (also contains XP):
    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp39001-39500/sp39403.exe

    running windows update and upgrading to service pack 3 actually fixed all of the remaining unknown driver issues for me. (ethernet & Audio)

    So while I have no more yellow flags in device manager, I'm experiencing the exact same issues that flipf0nt mentioned

    If anyone comes across a pagefault BSOD error it seems to be connected to a bad driver choice(s), I being the easy way out guy installed the whole ATI Catalyst application instead of picking out the individual drivers. End result was increased function till reboot then as mentioned above i would get a pagefault bsod error and sequential memory dump.
    solution was to boot to a safemode and uninstall the catalyst from Add/remove programs.

    As im the only one that will make this mistake this post is pointless but i like pointless rantings.

    Audio popping can be aleviated by disableing the power management fuction under the IDT Audio Control Panel. Hope this helps

    What IR driver did you use? I have the dv5t so chances are it's different, but my remote doesn't appear to work under XP.

    Formula84,

    your problem is how you setup the directories on your XP cd. You have the $OEM$, $$, and OEMDIR directories as separate folders in the root directory of the disk, but you need to have them nested. OEMDIR has your files and sits inside $$ which sits inside $OEM$. $OEM$ should be on the root directory of the cd, but the others are not. Hope that makes sense.

    Hello.

    I did precisely all the mentioned tips and burned an ISO:

    It didn't work on my dv5-1035eo laptop. I'm still facing BSOD when I should be getting into start install-screen.

    So doesn't this apply on my laptop-model or what? Any help appreciated!

    if your able to load all the initial drivers and get to the Windows Installation console... then you have part (A) done, but when you pick what you want to do with the harddrive partition format etc.. and you select a partition to install to and you get things installed but it fails on reboot then Part (B) of Kingtuts posts on pg1 was not done correctly. If you cannot even get all the initial drivers loaded before in BSOD's on you then check to make sure your files are located in the correct folder(s) the folders aren't named wrong. And double check your entries in the Winnt.sif and txtsetup.sif and make sure they are in the right folder as well. check my previous post for a xp version that worked for me.

    make sure you go to microsoft and get all the software and hardware updates there are quite a few i believe one of these takes care of the IR.

    I need a GURU help, guys,
    my laptop is - HP Pavilion dv5-1002nr
    I've done all the instructions from the first page,
    with filders - $OEM$/ $$ / OEMDIR
    and necesssary files injected,
    but after loading drivers, when it tries to initialize windows install options with HDD, (before screen where u need to agree with f8 key) it goes BSoD with errors.... what makes a difference?? need an advice.... want xp again!

    Actually, now (usin nLite it didnt work), but now it went to deleting previous windows, and started copying new files...and it stopped - sayeng:
    Setup cannot copy the files: cmnicfg.xml, ipcfg.xml, osinfo.xml, potscfg.xml,pppcfg.xml

    I've skipped it by Esc, will it be ok installation, anyone seen that happening????
    ...
    Finally got it formatted, trying to install it all over...
    ...
    ok, installed it. the errors in the first place happened because i was trying to install XP from a different laptop recovery cd, but with clean XP it went ok.
    Thanks for tutorial !!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have just buy a dv5-1002nr laptop. I have already try to fallow the instructions (in the first page of the post) but just before the XP install begins (before the first part when load some files) appears a blue screen with an error. Tray twese with diferents disk having the same result.

    Can please any one send me the correct sata drivers, or indicate me which one i have to look for, becouse i think that is my problem. I get confuse in that part.
    Or indicate me the xp version that you use for the downgrade, becouse i speak spanish and have a spanish xp version, and think that maybe can be a problem.
    Or send me the files ready to be included in my xp version. Any kind of help i will be very thankfull

    Thanks in advance
