Alot of folks bought that slick deal from HP with the 500bux off
Now alot of folks are posting on different sites asking how to get that POS vista off
I've got xp i want to put on my laptop
so far i have drivers for:
-webcam (but there are 3 choices not sure which to use, atm i d/led the 1.3mb hp version)
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...224058&lang=en
-video card is ez (just from co. site)
-quicktouch HP laptop buttons (same site)
-sata drivers - i used the main HP site but i'm weary of this one as i'll slip them in xp before i burn it but i've had trouble before
(if anyone has a real link to the sata drivers/setup for intel 8201 hem/hbm sata ahci controller that would be great) http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...reg_R1002_USEN
that is the link i had
-ricoh all in one reader drivers
(same site) not sure if this also includes the built in firewire port/hdmi port??
-realtek audio (ez) also d/led that windows hd audio controller as well
-motorola modem (ez as well)
-bluetooth from the same link (hopefully that includes the actual drivers/management for it)
-intel/hp wireless + assistant
also the broadcom wirelesss
(same site, just hoping whatever version i d/led works)
-fingerprint reader (should be ez)
my main question is what else am i missing, not sure which BIOS file to use? and just trying to cover all the bases so i dont have a bunch of yellow triangles when i hit format
lastly, it came with 2 hd's, can i just save my personal files to D drive, format c, and just have xp read d driver just fine?
thank you very much
