XP installtion and Drivers for Latest HP Notebooks

How to install Windows XP on DV9500, DV6500 and DV2500 above model notebooks without using USB floppy drive.:
This tutorial covers the process of installing Windows XP on an HP
DV9500,DV6500 and DV2500 with Intel processor series Laptop. Currently,
most HP Laptops are being shipped with Windows Vista, and there is minimal
driver support on the HP website site for those who want to downgrade to
Windows XP. Hence the necessity for this tutorial. We will be using nLite to
create a remastered Windows XP installation disk with integrated SATA
drivers, so having a working CD Recorder is essential. I would also recommend
having a USB flash drive handy to hold the additional drivers that will be
installed after XP installation.
Before proceeding, backup any important data you have saved on your PC. In
addition, it's also good idea to ensure that you have created a HP recovery
disk set for your computer
How to install Windows XP on a HP dv6500 series Laptop:
First we need to "create a new Windows XP installation disk integrated with
SATA drive controller drivers" (Intel SATA AHCI Controller Driver).
Otherwise Windows XP will not find the hard disk during the installation
procedure.
1. Download (http://www.nliteos.com/download.html) and install nLite
2. Download (ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp37001-
37500/sp37005.exe) the Intel SATA AHCI Controller Driver and run
the executable installing to the default c:\swsetup\SP37005 path
(Note: After running the sp37005 file, it will ask you to insert a floppy,
ignore the message and click on cancel)
3. Insert your Windows XP CD into your CD drive
4. Navigate to Start -> Programs -> nLite and click nLite to launch the
program
5. Once you get to the Locating the Windows installation section, Click
the Browse button and navigate to the CD drive where your Windows
install CD resides, then click OK and Next
6. Next, the program will ask you where to save the CD installation files
for modification, click OK
7. Next, you will need to create a folder to save to and work from. Click
the Make New Folder button, type in a folder name, and click OK
8.
9. Next, nLite will attempt to copy all files from the Windows installation
disk to the folder you have created. Once it has finished, click Next
10. Once you arrive at the Task Selection page, select the Drivers and
Bootable ISO option and then click Next
11. Next to select the SATA drivers to integrate. Click Insert, select Single
driver and navigate to the c:\swsetup\SP37005\Files and click
iastor.inf and click Open
12. Next, select "ALL" of the driver files listed and then click OK
13. Next, when prompted to start the process Click OK
14. After the process has finished, click Next till you arrive at the Bootable
ISO page
15. I prefer to Create and ISO Image and then use other software to burn
the ISO to a CD
16. Next, find your newly created ISO and burn your ISO to a CD using
your preferred burning software
17. Insert the remastered Windows XP CD into your HP dv6500 series
Laptop and proceed to install Windows XP
Installing Drivers for Windows XP and your HP dv6500 series Laptop:
Windows XP should now be installed on your HP dv6500 series Laptop. Next,
you will need to install the related system, audio, network and video drivers for
your new XP install. I am assuming that you have a wired internet connection
established, if not you will need to use another PC to download the driver pack
and then extract the files to a USB device.
1. Download the Driver Pack .
2. Extract the Driver Pack
3. Navigate to where you extracted the Driver Pack files and run chipset -
infinst_autol.exe to install the Chipset Drivers and reboot
4. Once rebooted, navigate back to the Driver Pack files and run intel
matrix - iata78_enu.exe to install the Matrix Storage Manager Drivers
and reboot once again
5. After reboot, to install the nVidia Graphics Drivers, extract
nv_gfgo_101.34-2kxp32.exe and run Setup.exe from the extracted
folder. Click Continue Anyway if a popup dialog box appears warning
you that the driver is unsigned
6. To install the Audio Drivers, extract files from the realek HD audio -
WDM_R183.zip and run Setup.exe from the extracted folder
7. Navigate back to the Driver Pack files and run UAA - sp32646.exe
8. Next, extract the files from realek HD audio - WDM_R183.zip and
run Setup.exe from the extracted folder
9. To install the modem drivers from the motorola modem -
Windows_SM56_6.12.07_DFV.zip
10. Next, run synaptics touchpad - sp35444.exe
11. Next, run quicklaunch - sp34796.exe. If you get a few popup New
Hardware Found windows. Choose
one and click No, then click Next. Choose Automatic then click
Finish.
12. Proceed to install any additional drivers you might need from the Driver
Pack For example: Ethernet Card or Wireless drivers
