Hi All,

First, I Would like to thank joshua wood & lich for their posts. Both are attached to this post for a long time now. These posts successfully helped me to downgrade my HP Pavilion DV4-1241 TX from Vista to XP 32bit.

dannyres also wrote a very good post in Jan'09 but most of the driver details are favouring Vista.

But apart all this, still there are some Drivers for which I am trying for the last 24Hours but not succeeding. I dont think, technology for DV4 Vs DV5 has much differences.

> I have downloaded several Audio IDT/Conexant Drivers for my HP laptop but none of them is working, saying hardware is not supported. How to know which driver my laptop posses?

> I installed one Touchpad driver but the scroller in the right of this pad is not working. I installed Synaptics but the MOUSE details in control panel is showing me simple mouse, not the touch pad details.

> I am not able to find any Digital Persona Finger print reader driver this my Finger print reader is not working.

> I tried installing ENE CIR (Infrared) as well but dont know it is working or not as the installation screen disappears in between installation? From where to check this?

These are the problem which I could lookout right now. Please help whoever can.

Hi friends



i have sucessfully downgraded my vista notebookto Dv 5 1102tu to XP Sp2 .I want to make a ghost dvd of the drive in which xp is present so that next time one doesn't have to install all drivers again . I came to know a tool called "Macrium Disc Cloning tool". I also want to try it out but i have one query that is when i will make a clone of my C: drive and burn it on a dvd then will it be able to recognize my SATA ich9 enable HDD cause i splitstreamed my SATA ich9 drivers in my xp cd in order to recognise my HDD so that i can successfully load back my C: drive???



I have installed all drivers and doesn't want to reinstall them again so please if anyone have used this tool or knows another method or confirm that it will successfully install back again my pc to the original state.



Thanks

I've never used or heard about that particular software, but i have used similar software in the past, and yes , if you make a image of your drive, you will have everything installed, including your SATA ich9. There are many ways that such tools work, some will show you a quick prompt before the OS loads, where you can press a F# key, and launch their software to recover your system. Others can create a boot dvd of your machine, and just boot with this disc , and recover your system. Another way is to create a new partition, or a protected hard disk zone where the image is stored, and loaded when you need to re-install your system. Most laptops nowadays work like this, where it is shipped without a OS disk, and you must create a disc yourself. Our DV5 came like this, in vista, and i'm assuming you burned that disc before downgrading, this way , in case you break your system real bad, and just want to start fresh. Note that this disc, for me in vista actually recreated the partition with the image, along with recovering my system to the language selection, before vista finishes up to install.

Keep very well in mind that all these tools will recreate the complete partition that you imaged, so everything on that drive will be erased, and only what was in that image will appear afterwards. It would be a good idea to have multiple partitions, and image just the partition with the OS, this way you can keep all your data when you "refresh" your system.

There might be tools that will recover the OS portion only of the drive, but i'm not aware of any, and that wouldn't really make any sense but its not impossible.

You mentionned the drivers not having a control panel applet, well, you can try running the .cpl found inside the driver package, but it gives very limited controls over your sound card. I have yet to find a decent .cpl for these drivers.

Thanks Roamin for your answer. Yes i have created my vista dvd's before installing xp. Actually some days back i tried to install Linux on one partition but god knows what happened and i lost my xp as well.Nothing worked for me and when i tried to install back my xp from cd "press any key to boot from cd" also doesn't came.So at last i have to use my rescue dvd's.
They completely wiped out all my partitions(4 partitions) and restored my Notebook to the first day state with two partitions one for vista and another for recovery.Now when i boot from the same cd of xp the option "press any key to boot from cd" comes now i am very much confused what happened then???? i lost all my data and xp drivers which i collected to install xp.
But thanks to this forum i recovered nearly all my drivers back without much effort but in future i am planning to dual boot xp with Windows 7 . So i am planning to make a clone of my xp drive so that i would be able to restore only that partition if something goes wrong without worrying to loose my other partitions which contains data.There are many software's in the net to make bootable images but will they be able to recognize my SATA HDD if something goes wrong and i try to recover my xp??
If u know any software which support latest RAID drivers plz let me know.
Thanks
