    bump...look what support says

    "The issue with the notebook you have described seems to be related to incompatibility of the drivers with the notebook as the notebook has been designed specifically for Windows Vista. At this point I request you to check the issue by reinstalling the preinstalled operating system on to the notebook."

    Guys i was having an online chat with HP support, and this person online gave me a whole list of drivers and everything for installing XP on my dv5t. If anyone wants any help let me know, though I am not going to install XP at the moment, coz i dont see anything wrong with vista, I am here to help if anyone wants help in finding drivers or SATA slipstreaming.
