You will need video, wireless, touchpad drivers. Good luck finding them for Win XP.

It's usually pretty difficult getting that to work to be honest.. I tried installing XP on a Vista era laptop, and never managed to find all the drivers.. You might be able to do it or XP 32bit, but those 64bit XP drivers are almost impossible to find...

Btw, how do you like the keyboard on that model?

have not tried the model yet stuck in finding drivers
so far what i have found i have found it for both 32 bit and 64 bit
but still nothing for the sata to slipstream it so i can actually make the installetion
when i actually paly with the laptop i will let you know about thwe keyboard

Here is the HP support website for your model. They only have Win 7 drivers but you can at least see what the drivers are for and go to the manufacturer's website.

i slipstream the drivers in the cd
so i managed to make the installation
i install the inf of the chipset
i install the wirelles also
thus i write this mesage from the laptop with win xp
installing the graphic card hd3000 crashes the system
hmmmmmmmmmm i do not think i will solve this issue

Not a solution but a potential workaround.

Depending on your specific situation, you might consider if running an XP Virtual Machine on Windows 7 would work for you.

Best of luck.

Man, XP is so old. What's wrong with Windows 7?

I've pretty-much eliminated all of my XP machines in my household.

Windows 7 Family Pack can be your friend, if you have a lot of machines like me.

I bought the same laptop with an A4, it comes with Windows 7 in the USA. Only cost $300 btw, it's sweet for that price. Even came with a 750gb 7200rpm hard drive rather than the 640 gb that was spec'd.

It's pretty well built and plenty fast for what we use it for.

The keyboard is fine except if they didn't waste so much space it could have had a seperate number keypad like many 15 inch laptops do.
