Ok i'm a noobie here let me start by saying hi to all..
My problem is I bought a New Pavillion DV8210US off of E-Bay for a good price,but it came with Windows XP Home Edition SP2. I don't know much 'bout computer mostly the basic stuff but I wanted this Laptop since I saw it at Circuit City for about 1,049.99 last year especially cuz of the 17" W/S Display.. Ok this is what it came with out of the box.
Microsoft Windows Home Edition SP2
AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile
Technology ML-32
1.58 Ghz, 512 MB of Ram
ATI Radeon Xpress 200M
Well after seeing the same Laptop at C.C. with Windows Media Center 2005, I sort of wanted mine like that so I installed Windows Media Center in it and found out quickly that there was no sound, no wireless internet the screen resolution looked like crap the hot buttons didn't work etc...
So I downloaded all available drivers from HP, I think I did a good job cuz everything seems to be working fine even WMC launches with the Quick Play button, also I can use the remote even with Windows Media Player 10..
Now The heartbreaking part I have a Nextel i930 I use the 6 in 1 Media card Reader to put music and videos in it but now that is the only thing that does not wanna work I couldn't find the drivers for it at HP, plus I wouldn't even know where to start..
Can anyone out there give me a heads up on this?? It would really appreciated...Thanks in advance...
p.s. I can still see the HP_RECOVERY D: partition when I go to My Computer. But can't use it to install the driver..
