I need some serious help here, I just got my DV8000t Core Duo T2500, 1GB DDR2, Geforce 7400 go, intel wireless, bluetooth, 80GB sata HD.
I bought it with Windows XP home b/c I have a MSDN subscription through my work thinking the first thig I would do is load XP pro on it. I went and powered it on, made sure everything works, restarted and continued to load my copy of Windows XP Pro and deleting every partition including recovery one.
Problem one, setup would not reconize my serial ata hard drive, there was a setting in the bios to disable native sata support (warning of performance hit), that allowed me to get windows installed. I have found drivers for the wireless, wired network adapters, video, sound, and touch pad. Now I'm stuck with the bluetooth and sata drivers, the basic intel ones say no compatable hardware found. After doing research I found out the only sata drivers that will work are the ones from HP which are on HD in SWSETUP folder. ( I'm pretty sure that's it), can some please point me to a place where I can download these sata drivers and possibably the bluetooth onse too?
