xp on dv9843cl

hi
a friend of mine has the dv9843cl
he's not satisfied with it,it's slow (i think because of the vista) but especially because the blue screen .....
anyway , he want to install xp
any guides here ????

 

Try downloading drivers from V6700 model. Most of the drivers listed can be use for your model.

But first, slipstream ICH8 sata driver onto XP CD installer.

See sticky for the guide.

Good luck

is a tutorial on how to use Nlite to do this, if you use nlite you can also use the driverpacks.net driver packs to add pretty much every driver known to man to your windows install so you'll have most of them right out of the box, there's a tutorial on how to use it here:

It's kinda complicated until you work through it, but most of the programs are pretty self explanatory. also if you use the driver packs you may well have to burn XP to a DVD instead of CD because it makes it a lot bigger. You'll want to run nlite first to copy XP from the cd to the hard disk and make the changes you want, then do the driver packs and then rerun nlite to burn the CD/DVD. You can install just the SATA driver with nlite but you'll spend a long time gathering up all the other drivers, i like the driverpacks because they put most of it in one place aside from a few oddball hard to find drivers.

 

interesting
never heard of this splitstream , it's cool
but seems very complicated
thanks big mike
