Install Windows XP on Pavilion dv5000 and sata driver

This solution posted by: Siva BGD on HP SUpport forum

First, let me explain about this. While install XP proff, it won't detect the harddrive or it will ask to install the SATA driver.

For this issue, we have to alternate solutions. Both will work. You can use any one of them.

One is to disable the SATA support in BIOS. Here are the steps to disable then steps:

1. Turn on or restart the notebook.

2. Press the F10 key when the "HP Invent" logo appears on the screen. This will open the BIOS menu.

3. Select the "System Configuration" tab.

4. Select "Disable" for the "SATA Native Support" item.

5. Press F10 to Save and Exit. Choose Yes for "Save configuration changes and exit now".

Now it will allow you to install the XP OS without any issue. But you should enable SATA support in BIOS after completing the installation. You have to use XP without SATA support.


If you want to install the SATA driver, then you need one external floppy driver and then follow the below steps:

You can install SATA drivers on a Retail OS by following these steps:



1) Enter F10 Setup, and go to System Configuration/Device Configurations/SATA Native Mode
to Disable.

2) Install Windows XP Service Pack 2 in whatever manner is typical for your organization.

3) Download the Intel SATA AHCI Controller Driver, SoftPaq SP32478.exe, from www.hp.com.

4) Extract all the files from the SoftPaq. A USB floppy is necessary for this step. Run sp32478; this will create a floppy disk. The files will be located on this floppy.

5) These files should be located on the floppy disk.

a. iaahci.cat

b. iaahci.inf

c. iastor.cat

d. iastor.inf

e. iastor.sys

f. license.txt

g. readme.txt

h. txtsetup.oem

Note : You can use the steps 4 & 5 on a Desktop system having floppy drive and then transfer those files to a CD-R.



6) Download and run the Intel Chipset Installation Utility for ICH7, SoftPaq SP32781, from www.hp.com .


7) In Device Manager, right-click the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers/Intel ® 82801 GBM/GHM (ICH7-M Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller and select 'Update Driver'.

8) Follow these steps to complete the Hardware Update Wizard:


a. At the first dialog, select 'No, not this time' when prompted to connect to Windows Update.

b. At the next dialog, select 'Install from a list or specific location (Advanced).

c. At the next dialog, select 'Don't search. I will choose the driver to install'.

d. When prompted to select the device driver you want to install for this hardware, choose the first one in the list: Intel® 82801GBM/GHM (ICH-7M Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller - 27C4.


e. When prompted to insert the manufacturer's installation disk, browse to c:\SWSetup\SATA AHCI Drivers\, and click OK.

f. When prompted to select the device driver you want to install for this hardware, select the Intel® 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller

g. A warning that Windows cannot verify that the device is compatible with your hardware will appear. When asked if you want to continue installing the driver, select Yes.

h. The installation will complete.



9) Shut down Windows and restart the computer. Enter F10 setup when prompted during the boot.

10) Go to System Configuration/Device Configurations/SATA Native Mode and change it to Enable, then save settings and exit F10 Setup.


11) After Windows restarts, the additional SATA components will be updated. A System Settings Change will appear. When asked "Do you want to restart your computer now?" click Yes.

12) When Windows restarts, the SATA AHCI drivers will be completely installed.


That is the entire history and solution for this issue.

ProtectSmart Drive Not Supported HP dv5-1003nr/DV5-1104ax

This solution posted by BOB on HP support forum

===================================================================
notes:
worked on Dv5-1104ax.

AMD driveguard program was located in C:\SWSetup\drivers/AHCI/Packages/drivers/SBDrv/SB7xx/AccFilter/LH/setup32

dv5-1132la.
The path is C:\SWSetup\Drivers\AHCI\Packages\Drivers\SBDrv\SB7xx\AccFilter\LH\setup32\setup.msi


for more refence refer to the bottom of the page
===================================================================


I bought a Dv5-1110em in the middle of December, 16.12 2008, and this problem existed from the first boot-up. It uses an AMD processor with a WD2500bevs 250Gb HDD and runs Vista 32bit SP1. After some considerable time spent in e-mails and phone calls to tech support I have finally got Protectsmart working. For those who might want to try it this is the route I took.

First download and install the latest Bios update from HP updates.

Un-install via control panel the Protectsmart hard drive protection.
Then remove any protectsmart folder still in the C: drive programs folder - I had two, both with different numbers of files!

Re-boot and then install the latest version of the ProtectSmart app sp39123

Go to the SWsetup folder in the C:drive. Follow the path :- drivers/AHCI/drivers/SBDrv/SB7xx/AccFilter/LH/setup 32

Inside there is a setup file AMD 12.0.058851 Run it. This offers to modify/repair/uninstall the AMD 3D driverguard. Choose repair.

Upon re-boot I found Protecsmart now enabled and working and no longer giving me 'drive not supported'

After all the hassle I have had over the past two months, un-installing/re-installing drivers etc, it came as some relief.

Whether this works with Intel machines or those running Vista 64bit I don't know, there may be a similar setup file that can be run, but in a situation like this anything is worth a try.

cheers,


Additional notes:

64bit users, make sure you click on the "LH64A" folder instead the "LH" one.

Compaq CQ40-401AU XP Drivers

Due to high Volume of comments i had updated this post and if there are problems leave your comments. The difficult thing is Audio, so you need to do some homework to test which work for you. The Good news there are 3 Audio Drivers that reported work. The bad news you must test which work for you and report which work for you(so it can help others).

Install .Net Framework before others:
Download

or KB888111 (alternative for sp33867)
