ok i just got a new PC, a HP DV7 1020EL, with preinstalled Vista and i want to downgrade it to XP (keeping vista... i will dual boot)


i have a XP SP2 cd but it doesn't work, the SATA driver is missing
this is the Everest report for my PC
 Report.rar (109.01K)
Number of downloads: 11

what should i do?
should i pick nForce driver? or Intel's?

thanks for your help =)

Well, first of all you PC isn't speaking English. American drivers hate foreigners.

OK, I know exactly what your problem is. You are loading drivers that are conflicting with the native drivers that come with Windows. Try installing Windows old school. From the CDROM, with no F6 drivers - old school. Maybe just the IntelINF drivers.

lahvitz,
You may be in trouble. See here. I suggest you search Google and Intel's driver DL pages for a driver for ICH9M/M-E. There may not be an XP diver for this chip set. Try sending an e-mail to Intel tech support.
Good luck, John.

EDIT: I just looked at the HP site and it does not look good. I would suggest you e-mail them also about drivers.
Good luck, John.
