We will see how much of a pain it is to get the rest up and running. It appears to be the only way, but it does work, just formatting the drive now. Just go thru the regular pain in the ***** process of F6'ing and adding the driver via the floppy. I am not really sure what it would work for.įound someone at HP who actually did their homework and supplied the following instructions with a link for a driver from intel which allows the HD to be seen. There first canned response is below at the bottom, and does not work for a fresh install.

Driver that HP first sent was not the driver needed for a fresh install aka the F6 method of adding the driver via a usb floppy. No option to turn off native sata support in bios. The manufacturers have anyone who purchases a notebook/laptop over a barrell since they are the only one who you can get critical parts from. If it wasn't under warranty, it would have cost $523 US. The only place that had the hard drive was HP. I run a computer shop and finding parts for laptops is next to impossible in almost all cases. Purchased a DV 2125nr for my daughter to use at college and the hard drive went bad. Remember, any hardware parts (other than RAM and graphics cards) for notebooks can only be purchased from the manufacturer and their prices are INSANE. That's not a big deal, but if it's under warranty and something goes wrong and you're unlucky enough to have to ship it back, you may have just voided the warranty.

You'd have to do some searching to find the rest of the XP drivers for the other hardware installed. The graphics card (unless integrated) might not be a problem, and if it's a generic integrated sound chip (hopefully something like Sound Maxx or AC 97), you could also find those drivers.

And since it's an HP product, you might just have a really hard time (if not impossible) matching up the hardware with the XP driver since HP is the manufacturer. You won't be able to use the driver utility cd that should have come with the notebook since they will be Vista drivers. If all the hardware is geared for Vista, then after a fresh install of XP, you may not be able to find the correct drivers for the rest of the hardware.
