XP Up & Running (99.9%) on my new dv6600 (AMD / nVidia based)

[MK Crnths]

Here is a Complete Xp Driver Set for the Dv6000 Series created using Driver genius professional.



Link : Size= 37.3mb


All the standard Drivers including Sound Fix, Working remote control and working quicklaunch buttons above the keyboard.

My laptop specs are as follows :
Model number : Dv6611ei ( 560 chipset )
Amd Turion X2 Dual core 1.8Ghz
1GB DDR 2 Ram
Nvidia 7150m Graphics
5 in one card reader
160GB Sata drive
TV - Out
firewire
Wireless lan
Touch controls above the keyboard
Expansion port
External Monitor output
Lightscribe multi DvD recorder
Mic built into screen.
Remote control unit.


Please be aware that there is no bluetooth or Webcam drivers included in the packadge since i dont have either of them. Hope this helps whoever needs drivers. TheDave you can sticky this on your main links post if you wish.

All drivers are based on Posts made here on this forum, mainly from TheDave. Also the nvidia drivers I pulled from laptop2go. Sometimes during restore you may get a popup asking for a file in the ricoh driver set, just cancel past it, xp picks it up on next reboot. The packadge above is Stricly drivers only, i did not include the AMD dual core patch, neither the wifi utility or touch buttons utility, these are all optional and i dont personaly use them. if you feel the need you can find links on the second post on page one posted by TheDave.

I have tested these by reinstalling windows and using them, it worked perfectly for me, and maybe for you too ...

Question ??
I already have VISTA PREMIUM running and the entire laptop is just as it came from HP with Vista installed on it so do i obviously just download your link and once im done just click on the .exe you provided and it'll hopefully let me get rid of the Vista OS by completely Over-writing its drivers with your XP Drivers?
Also is there something else i need to know or do in order to get your driver doodad to work or anything else i have to do first to Vista before i can go ahead and use your .exe
Also assuming i just over-write Vista with your .exe and once the drivers from it are installed i just install an official XP SP2 disc and completely finish getting rid of Vista if it allows me the option to remove it from the system while installing any other missing drivers i want from the tutorials here right?

In Laymans Terms:

Will it over-write, erase or get rid of Vista and its drivers while replacing them with your XP drivers cuz the laptop is running the Vista OS as it came so let me know what i should do so i can do it right.

Thanks and please let me know.. MK Crnths.

Also this is the Laptop as it is right now:

* Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 (32-bit)
* AMD Turion(TM) 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-60 (2.0 GHz, 512KB+512KB L2 Cache

RAYMERJACQUE: Thanks for dropping that in my lap although i was already aware of it as i'd seen in posted having read all the previous posts in the threads here in the quest to soak up enough knowledge and/or help unfortunately in the way of help all i got was basically go to this thread and read which i did and which i must admit worked as i can report SUCCESS!!

My system is now Windows XP SP2 and everything is fully functional or just about everything... So thankyou and Thankyou too Mujjuman

The only item thats not working now is the "Touch Q&DVD Button" which i could care less for as the process for getting it to work according to threat#47 doesn't sound friendly as i am a firm believer in Murphys Law which states that anything that can go wrong will go wrong and for all i know if the laptop refuses to boot or even reboot or to simply just fall in line with the method described for whatever the reason who wouldn't loose their hair or sanity with a laptop that no longer turns on so the bad outweighs the good and will pass on that method/those buttons.
But if anyone else comes out with any simpler method that they're willing share as far as the Q&DVD Buttons then im all for it

The only other item is my OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller which as of yet has refused to play ball though im not giving up on it and still trying as i've already tried using windows internet driver update to do so only it tells me something along the lines of it can't find anything better than the version i already have which sounds like a crock as you'd think it would look for one that should even if older only i guess its only programmed to look for updated as in newer versions rather than older drivers which in many cases are perfectly great.

So the quest continues... for a 1394 driver that works..

Thanks again everyone as yes i' have obviously read and followed or tried the thread suggestions as i wouldn't have gotten this far and as i said im fully on XP SP2 with sound and touch controls on the right side and everything else for that matter working so im definitely happy and just need to figure out a 1394 doodad that'll work and im good... err unless sum1 comes up with a neater Q&DVD button answer.

ok here is the file, i couldnt upload to mediafire so i chose the next best thing, let me know if you still truggling to download it.

Can somebody re-upload this driver-pack again ?
sendspace or rapidshare please.

Thanks

[witchick]

Ok...sorry to repeat but I have similar problems to alot of you guys here. I am downloading drivers from all over this forum but some that I need are no longer available.
My bluetooth does not work...but I am downloading a driver right now so I will try that soon. Hopefully it will be a success.
Device manager has a yellow question mark in other devices but it says unknown device.
My built in mic does not work nor any other external mic I plug in.
I do not have Verisoft software to run the finger reader...i don't NEED this but I would like it to work.
Those are my main concerns. Bluetooth, Mic, fix the device manager and the finger reader.
If anyone can direct me to the drivers that are actually uploaded and available or a walk-thru type thing that I can follow...I would be forever greatful!I really don't like the idea of having to go and put back Vista.....

For those of you curious, the dv6645us (and maybe even the dv2610us too) has the following hardware makes/models, and could use the suggested drivers:

NVidia MoBo chipset:
nForce 560
(CPU-Z states it is the exact MoBo model: Quanta 30CF)
Used file: 12.15_nforce_520_winxp32_english_whql.exe directly from Nvidia.
Once extracted, installed, inf edits were then made & updated for just the SMBus & Ethernet drivers.

INF EDITS:
This is where things get much more difficult if you don't know what you are doing, or just aren't comfortable doing them. This can also be somewhat dangerous I guess, and will actually let you install any driver for any piece of hardware. Just because windows will actually let you install (any) driver, doesn't mean the device will actually work though. You should be confident when picking your drivers and making these edits. Since I was using the real NVidia drivers for the chipset that was identified by the CPU-Z utility, I was pretty confident with this driver choice.
After the Nforce drivers run through their install process, it usually leave the drivers uncompressed in a directory on your C: drive (probably C:\NVIDIA\something)


SMBus inf edit:
I opened up the SMBus\nvsmbus.inf file, and saw a large list of Hardware ID's under the [NVIDIA_SYS] section. I copied and pasted the last line of this section, and changed it to read:
%PCI\VEN_10de&DEV_01b4.DeviceDesc% = AMD_NO_DRV, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0542

The way I came up with the new last four digit #'s, was to go into device manager, double-click on the unknown device "SMBus...", click on the "Details" tab, and scrolled through the first 3 options. I found that under the "Compatible Ids" area, a very similar id existed, and I just needed to change the last 4 (3 really) digits of the new line I had just made to 0524 (from 0446).

Now I just saved the inf with the updated info, went back to the "Driver" tab on the unknown device, and clicked "Update Driver". When needed, I pointed the procedure to the right place (c:\nvidia\12.15\smbus\), it found the right driver, and I would reboot if needed. Now since the device did not come up with a red X in device manager, I would say that it is working correctly.

Ethernet inf edit:
To get this driver loaded, I edited two inf files: Ethernet\nvnetbus.inf & Ethernet\nvenetfd.inf
For the first file (nvnetbus.inf), I went through, and found the [Standard] section of the file, and added this line:
%nvnetbus.DeviceDesc%=nvnetBus_Device, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_054C

Again, I knew to change the last 4 digits of the line to 054c since it was listed as the Hardware id in the device manager for the unknown Ethernet device.

For the second file (nvenetfd.inf):
I browsed through it, and saw that I would need to copy & edit the appropriate line under each of these three sections [ControlFlags], [Nvidia], [Nvidia.NTx86.5.1].
With the end of each new line under each of those 3 sections, the line would need to be changed to 054c as well.

Now I just saved the inf file(s) with the updated info, went into to the "Driver" tab on the unknown device, and clicked "Update Driver". When needed, I pointed the procedure to the right place (c:\nvidia\12.15\ethernet\), it found the right driver, and I would reboot if needed. Now since the device did not come up with a red X in device manager, I would assume that it is working correctly.
Since I was able to, I plugged in an ethernet cable to my little home network, and the device worked great (100 Mbit FD even!).
This concludes the first inf edit tips for the needed MoBo drivers. Next inf edits will be for the audio devices & modem.

Wireless 802.11b/g nic:
Broadcom 4311BG
sp36684.exe - Base Driver
sp36686.exe - WLAN Utility

5 in 1 Card reader:
Ricoh 5 in 1
(For this, I was able to just use the 5 in 1 Ricoh drivers meant from another pc: sp33604.exe.)

Video device:
nVidia GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M
I used driver 156.72 from over here
Note: (12-4-07)
It was brought to my attention that the drivers at my original link (above) no longer has the drivers available. I zipped up my copy I still have, and have made them available to download from here:
http://www.megafileupload.com/en/fil...Force-zip.html

Bluetooth device:
Broadcom for HP.
Uses the WIDCOMM stack though, can be obtained form HP:
Newer Version (5.1):
sp34842.exe
Older Version (4.0):
sp32883.exe

Keyboard hard (quick launch) buttons:
** HP links broken, see 3rd note below a little ways **
I'm still messing with this, but I have found this much so far.
Install the HP Quick Launch Button drivers: sp34796.exe
This should get the device listed right in device manager.

To get the "on screen" volume controls to show up on XP Pro, I read this thread downloaded, and installed the MS IntelliType (6.1) drivers for the "MultiMedia Keyboard" (when asked) from Microsoft at this url:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

1st NOTE:
As a side note to this "on screen" volume display. The regular HP one just started working after a couple days, and I am unable to tell what got this working. I don't know if maybe the Microsoft DOT NET framework I installed actually got it working or not (this is the only thing I can think of). So I have uninstalled the MS IntelliType driver for now.

2nd NOTE:
After messing around with this a few more times, I downloaded, and installed (separately) the quicklink button drivers: 5.2, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, & 6.3.
6.2 was what I found originally had found, and linked to up above. However, it does not function 100% (nor do any of those versions). However, the most important item to me was the on screen volume indicator. And it did not work right away in any version, except v6.1. So if you don't care about the "dvd" & "Q" button as I don't, and just want the on screen volume indicator as I did, you can download and install v6.1 of those drivers here:
sp33258.exe

3rd NOTE:
Apparently HP is too dumb to just add a link to the above linked pages telling people to get the critical update, and they are too lazy to just make a new version of this software with the critical update included.
DO NOT Forget to download and install the critical update that HP thinks is sooo important.
I have uploaded the files for your enjoyment.

Quick Link Buttons v6.3 (latest):
http://megafileupload.com/en/file/32...36708-zip.html

Quick Link Buttons v6.1:
http://megafileupload.com/en/file/32...33258-zip.html

After you download and install EITHER one of these files, be sure to install the HP CRITICAL UPDATE from here:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...tem=ob-56385-1

Again, The reason I post both version, is I know some people only like the latest versions of stuff, but I post the other (older) one because I found it to work better, and actually display the on-screen volume right after installing.
One (major) downside to the older version though, when it displays the on-screen volume level, it (temporarily) steels the window focus while the OSD is displayed.

HD Audio & Modem (Both Conexant) setup:
3 Steps to this part of the setup.

1) Download & Install the (UAA) Universal Audio Architecture drivers:
sp33867.exe

2) Download, and unzip the audio driver file:
sp35682.exe
Under the [Conexant] section of the wis30B2a.inf file, I added the following hardware id:
%HdAudioFunctionDriver.Waikiki5047.DeviceDesc% = HdAudModel,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5045&SUBSYS_103C30CF

This solved one of the "unknown devices" under device manager. After going to the device properties in device manager, and manually going through the "Upgrade drivers" process, and pointing that procedure to the correct directory where you updated the inf file to have the correct hardware id.

3) Download, and unzip the modem driver file:
sp35335.exe
Under the [ControlFlags] section of the WinXP\SprtHD5m.inf file, I added the following hardware id: ExcludeFromSelect= HDAUDIO\FUNC_02&VEN_14F1&DEV_5045&SUBSYS_103C30CF

AND under the [HSF_MODEM] section of the WinXP\SprtHD5m.inf file, I added the following hardware id:
%HSFModem% = ModemX, HDAUDIO\FUNC_02&VEN_14F1&DEV_5045&SUBSYS_103C30CF

After editing the inf file, go through the same "upgrade driver" process, be sure you point to the correct directory manually if you have to. This should solve the remaining "unknown device" issue.

Built-In WebCam:
It should just work in XP (w/SP2) in windows explorer. However, there are reports of some issues with 3rd party apps.

I was able to install this utility from HP:
sp35040.exe
I did have to manually start the installed exe file from \program files\hp webcam\hp webcam\xp32\VimicroCam.exe. That little utility did seem to work ok though, and it even recorded a test vid w/audio once config'd some.

You can also check out this thread:
WEBCAM PROBLEM SOLVED!! (fingers crossed, here's to hoping...)
And see if the drivers listed in there work for you. I have no idea, as I have not tested them with this model laptop, so good luck.

AMD Processor Drivers:
Apparently there are better drivers for the CPU itself. These drivers are suppose to have better handling of the dynamic CPU clock speed, and thus saving you battery life, which is very important. I didn't do any test of this theory, but it make sense from a logic stand point.
Anyways, you can visit the AMD website here:
http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/..._13118,00.html

Once that page is up, look for a title called (toward the bottom of the page):
AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Driver for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (x86 and x64)
After you found that, download, and install the driver, you should reboot if asked.

Maybe more later...

You have wrong driver, at least it doesnt detect when external speakers / headset is connected on my dv6645eo so i have to use this driver with same inf hack:

Download:
sp34204.exe
Unzip with 7zip the audio driver file and edit At8VEN5a.inf
Under the [Conexant] section add the following hardware id:
%HdAudioFunctionDriver.Waikiki5047.DeviceDesc% = HdAudModel,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5045&SUBSYS_103C30CF

Should work like it does here even the quality of this sound chip doesnt fit to my hifi section

Gaaaaaaaaa!

Sorry, but I'm about to throw my damn laptop (or my friends actually) out the window!

I'm trying to downgrade a DV9645EO to Windows XP.

Everything is actually working EXCEPT for the ethernet and the firewire. I've tried every nForce driver there is but no one seem to be working.

Windows find and installs the driver after the nForce installation, but when it tries to load it I get an error "(Code 10)" and an exclamation mark in the device manager.

CPU-Z output:

Manufacturer: Quanta
Model: 30DA, 85.24
Chipset: NVIDIA nForce 520 Rev. A3
Southbridge: NVIDIA ID0442


Any ideas?


Thank you!

I still have problems with the audio... I have tried everything in this thread, but still my mic doesnt work, and the speakers doesnt mute when i attach headphones. I have the following specs:
Hewlett-Packard HP Pavilion dv9741eo Notebook PC
Conexant Cx20561 @ nVIDIA MCP67 - High Definition Audio Controller PCI

I am so helpful if someone could help me out here since the mrs are furious because she hears me play games
