Kinh nghiệm cài XP OS trên laptop đời mới của HP

For consumer notebooks, HP does not support XP anymore and no drivers for XP are posted in their ftp site.

This guide is a general guide to XP downgrade for all HP/Compaq consumers notebook, with NO affiliation what so ever with HP.
It is intended to help HP notebook owners. The resources are collected from XP downgraders in HP forum.
The guide will be divided into 3 categories, Easy, Moderate and Difficult Models, please check you own model before downloading the drivers.

Be sure to use your complete Model # (section 1) or P/N (section 2) from Service Tag when checking your specs to determine correct drivers, here.

If you require more help, start a new thread in laptop forum, using full model # and P/N from Service Tag,along with  drivers you have tried that work/didn't work and any features that are not functioning.

Things you should know

1. HP does NOT support XP for consumer notebooks, so if you have any difficulties regarding XP, do not expect HP will help you.
2. HP may demand you to install back VISTA if you have hardware problem to troubleshoot it.
   An option to consider-put your original Vista hdd away and install new one for XP.
3. Some of the notebook features may not work in XP due to uncertified licenses pointed in this guide.
4. Microsoft has released three (3) Service Packs for XP, use only SP2 for the first trial. Why? Since many of XP drivers are released based on XP-SP2.
5. Always make Vista Recovery cd/dvd before downgrade to XP. see it here
6. You have a folder with drivers & programs that may prove very helpful after XP downgrade.
   Copy folder C:\Swsetup to DVD Before formatting your hdd.
7. If you have a pre-SP2 XP cd, get the full SP to Integrate with Nlite: SP2 Nlite HERE

1. Easy Models

Notebook consumer models with model number BELOW Vx5xx for Presario and dvx5xx for Pavilion models. example_V3442TU.

Presario notebooks
Model  BELOW V35xx and with Intel processor refer to V3000T for drivers.  Here
Model  BELOW V35xx and with AMD processor refer to V3000Z  for drivers. Here
Model  BELOW V65xx and with Intel processor refer to V6000T for drivers.  Here
Model  BELOW V65xx and with AMD processor refer to V6000Z  for drivers. Here

Some Notes:

1. Use the option of disable native SATA in BIOS setting for Intel machine, AMD machine does not have this requirement.
2. Always install chipset first
3. Install MS-UAA before sound and modems
4. Install .Net Framework before HP Quick Launch Buttons
5. Install Windows Installer 3.1 before Intel Wireless

Important Software

1. QuickPlay Windows for XP
QPW  version 2.3 for XP, here
Update to the final version of QPW for XP, here and Skin update, here

In some notebook QPW will need a regirsty hack to install it,

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\QPFlag]
"QPFlag"=dword:00000003
"@"=""

If you don’t know how to do it, just download,QuickPlay.zip, extract it, double click run it.

Some Notes:

1. For Vx5xx and dvx5xx and ABOVE models plus B1200 & C700 series, with Intel Processor installed, ICH8 sata driver needs to be slipstreamed into XP installer, while notebooks with AMD processor need no extra driver to install.
2. For New Presario and HP models (CQ20, CQ50, CQ60, CQ70, G50, G60 and G70)  with Intel Processor installed, ICH9 sata driver needs to be slipstreamed into XP  installer, while AMD processor needs no extra driver to install.

 MS UAA must be installed before Audio.

Some notes:

1. If your model uses Intel 4 Series Chipset, MS-UAA must be installed before Intel video graphic driver. Intel bundled HDMI driver in Video graphic driver
2. New Nvidia drivers (185.85) also require MS-UAA for HDMI driver
3. A reboot is required before installing Audio and Modem drivers.
4. If you are using XP-SP3 (not recommended for the first trial), try using kb835221 (older version of MS-UAA) or use the registry trick.

Some important notes

1. AMD machines may find 1394 Firewire with error, requires BIOS downgrade or safer option of this driver, here          
2. Atheros Wireless light is many times red/orange even when working properly.Atheros amber light fix, here
Be sure that you use your complete Model # (section 1) or P/N (section 2) from Service Tag on bottom of laptop when checking your specs page to determine correct drivers/BIOS, here.

If you require more help, start a new thread in laptop forum, using full model # and P/N from Service Tag,along with drivers you have tried that work/didn't work and any features that are not functioning.

1. For Difficult Models, it is reported that using SP3 is better than SP2 (no more devcon utility)
2. Install CPU-Z  to determine correct SATA driver to select. Download the program from here
3. Always make Vista/W7 Recovery cd/dvd before downgrade to XP. see it here
4. You have a folder with drivers & programs that may prove very helpful after XP downgrade.
   Copy folder C:\Swsetup to DVD Before formatting your hdd.
5. If you have a SP2 XP cd, get the full SP3 to Integrate with Nlite: SP3, Nlite HERE

3. Difficult Models

For NEW notebook consumer models e.i. Presario, Pavilion, and HDX models are difficult to downgrade. It is possible task but needs many efforts.

Difficult models are CQ40, CQ35, CQ45, CQ61  Presario models, dv2, dv3, dv4, dv5, dv6, dv7  Pavilion models and all HDX models

Some information from XP downgraders

1. For Intel platform, some of XP downgraders have to utilize devcon utility to restart MS-UAA automatically, XP-SP3 may solve this issue.
2. HP Quick Launch Buttons software do not install proper keyboard layout that lead some Fn feature malfunctions, i.e (brightness control) a BIOS update may solve this problem, read extra caution below and update  only while still running original OS..before downgrading to XP.
3. HP has released XP ENE CIR driver, download below.
4. IDT sound chip, “old” Vista driver can be used however, needs some tricks to make it work properly, using audio driver from C:\swsetup is reported solve this issue
5. HD and Blue Ray features may not run properly in XP.

Precautions to Take Before BIOS UPDATE

1. Connect the notebook to the AC power supply, exit all other programs, and allow the computer to restart after applying the updated BIOS.
2. Do not turn off the computer while the BIOS is updating. Attempting to cancel this update operation will cause damage to the BIOS and will require that the computer be repaired at an HP authorized facility.

Our recommendation is stay with Vista or  Windows 7; however, if you think XP is a must, hopefully this guide will prove helpful.
