Downgrading to XP - drivers needed

I have a HP Pavilion a6485l Desktop PC and can't find all of the drivers for installing XP. Device manager shows Ethernet controller, PCI simple communications controller and SM bus controller are not installed. I thought the ethernet controller was NVIDIA but the drivers won't install. I read somewhere that the SM bus needs to be installed first before it can recognise the ethernet controller. Any idea where I can obtain these? (only Vista drivers are on the HP site). Thanks.
