hi,first post on the windows seven forum.

I have just bought a new laptop, running windows 7, and im trying to dual boot with XP. So, what ive been trying to find, for about a week, is a compatible driver to slipstream with my XP setup disc. I keep getting the blue screen of death.

I have a HP Pavilion DV6-3019ax

AMD CHIPSET 785GX
AMD SOUTHBRIDGE SB800
BIOS VERSION: F.27
AMD M880G WITH ATI MOBILITY RADEON HD 4250 (512mb)

please help me, im stuck and run out of drivers to try.

Thanks

First check for all the Win XP drivers for your hardware.
You can check your HP/compaq PC here:
General XP Downgrade Guide for HP Laptops - HP Support Forum
NOTE: Please read this thread fully.


If your Win XP CD, does not support your Sata Controller, you will need to load drivers to uses at F6.
Load Sata Controller drivers with a floppy disk is the best way.

Hi, can you use a USB drive to load the drivers?

You can not load drivers from a USB Pendrive.

No, no usb or floppy? can i install like 50 different possible SATA drivers in one multiple slilpstream, and is this Blue screen of death because the SATA driver is missing??

thnaks

any more ideas?

thanks

Amazon.com: USB floppy

Why not just use Microsoft Virtual PC or Sun Virtual Box?

WinXP does not allow using USB drives like a flash drive or pen drive like Vista, Server 2008 or Win7.

You downloading from the wrong site.

ok thanks mate, im using this one now

Or, AMD SATA AHCI driver from HP , here
Extract sp43839 to a folder and use files in RAID7xx folder

Important Notes:

1. In Nlite, choose the option of insert -> multiple driver folder
2. Select ONLY x86 driver for AMD SATA AHCI when asked.
3. Never choose x64 driver when asked

and only using the x86 driver

it burning now and ill try it and update

thanks

dude that worked sweet as. Thank you so much!!

Another quick question, is shrinking my C drive the same as partitioning it?

Thanks again man you rock

Ok so i just tried shrinking the C: and D: drives to create a new partition for the XP installation. I noticed there were 4 previous partitions and read that windows 7 can not accomodate more then 4 partitions on a single disk, so i deleted the partition HP_TOOLS. However i am still unable to shrink C: or D: even though they have sufficiant space. C: has 300GB free and im only trying to shrink it by 2GB. It just pops up with an error

any ideas?

Thanks
