HP Pavilion dv6500 notebook pc Xp

Thank you infinitely... You cannot imagine how much you served me..
Thank you again
perfumed greetings

you are seriously the best ever in the world, thank you 4 hundred million trillion times.. if u knew u I whould buy u a 50 drinks!

I get my laptop video drivers for my 8600 gs from www.laptopvideo2go.com

For the SATA drivers issue, you will need to implement the drivers on your windows xp cd with a special program. I did this myself a while ago, and I believe you will need to make an iso file of the windows cd, then implement the drivers, and then burn a new windows cd with the SATA drivers. Worked for me anyways.

i have a compaq cq60-152em with the same problem. im not sure the problem is related with the sata drivers because I even removed the harddrive of laptop and I put that harddrive to another notebook which allows xp installation. with that computer, I was able to install xp without any problem and I used it for a while to test it, there is no problem. However, after putting the harddrive back to my computer, it didn`t work. I am not the best but I know some about this kind of stuff. But I don`t know what the hell it is. I can install another operating systems (backtrack, mandriva etc.) by the way. just the xp I cannot install. If someone has an idea it will be greatly appreciated.

its easy.
whit a linux boot cd you can find out what hardware you have in the system(ubuntu is a good system for this).

Then, do the next:
open a terminal, in applications and then type: lspci

This will give a list of hardware your laptop have.
mine for exeple is a hp dv5 1030ep, so the list is as next:

pS: I dont know if this list is the same for all the systems...

Make a bootable cd as a person above discrives, and install the cd. then install the drivers you have downloaded from the makers of the hardware....
simple as that..

Yes it needs a bit of searsch work, but it can be done...
