[SOLVED] Presario F500 XP Downgrade

eaglemick · 03-03-2009, 03:48 AM

Hi There,

I have tried to follow the instructions in the below thread but I'm still hitting problems.

Presario F500 (F573AU) XP Drivers :(

When I instal the UAA driver I get a "new hardware found wizard" prompt plus a prompt to restart. If I ignore the new hardware wizard prompt and restart I still get a prompt for new hardware found on restart for audio device on high definition audio bus. If I then try to install the audio device I get an error message "Driver Installation Failed: Could not find the MEDIA device for this driver".

Am I missing something here?

PC Wizard text file attached FYI.

Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

Hi,
See if this guide will help you:
Vista to XP Downgrade Compaq/ HP F700/G6000/DV6900/DV6700/DVx7xx/DV9800 Series Laptop
Use the COMPAQ PRESARIO F700 AND G6000 SERIES WITH A AMD PROCESSOR (ONLY) XP DRIVERS at the beginning of the guide.

Make sure the UAA Driver is listed under System Devices in the Device Manager.

The Audio Driver has to be manually installed

Thanks,
Bill

Thanks BCCOMP, I'll give it a try tonight when I get home!

I created a restore point before installing the drivers. Is it OK to go from there or will I need a clean install of xp before trying again?

**BCCOMP** · 03-03-2009, 04:23 PM

HI,
You have SP2 installed from you report, but I am not sure if the CHIPSET driver is installed.

Also DO NOT install SP3 first, install SP2

I would create a restore point, but I do not know what you have tried as far as drivers.

What I do know, the link I gave you has successfuly install XP on this model (31,000+times),

Hi,
I have a restore point but it was after installing the chipset from the other post which said to run the exe rather than manually installing the SM BUS and Coprocessor. Does this mean it's best to start again?

One other question. How do you manually instal the SM BUS as I didn't see this as a device in error in device manager after originally downgrading and installing xp?

**BCCOMP** · 03-04-2009, 03:10 AM

Hi,

No need to install the Chipset driver then.
Start from the Guide here:

Can I get a screenshot of the Device Manager?

Hi Bill,

I haven't installed word yet so I have nothing to paste the screenshot into :)

I've currently got as far as installing the video driver without a hitch! Problem drivers remaining in Device Manager\Other devices are as follows:

Network Controller
Other PCI Bridge Device
PCI Device
Unknown device

Which device do I install the LAN driver against?

HI Mick,
Something is screwed up here.

Go to the Device Manager
On each error
Right click on the error>Properties>Details Tab
Post the info you find under Device Instance ID for each error

Here is how to post a screenshot (Word is not needed):

Hi Bill,

I've attached a screenshot of the device manager as requested. Below are the device instance ID's:

Network controller - PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4311&SUBSYS_1375103C&REV_02\4&14C5F9B7&0&0018
Other PCI Bridge Device - PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0269&SUBSYS_30B7103C&REV_A3\3&13C0B0C5&0&A0

PCI Device - PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_026C&SUBSYS_30B7103C&REV_A2\3&13C0B0C5&0&81

Unknown device - ACPI\HPQ0006\2&DABA3FF&0

**BCCOMP** · 03-06-2009, 05:32 AM

Hi,
Something is wrong with the Chipset driver you installed:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_....26_11.09.html

These errors are from you Chipset Driver:
Other PCI Bridge Device - PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0269&SUBSYS_30B7103C&REV_A3\3&13C0B0C5&0&A0: MCP51 Ethernet Controller
PCI Device - PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_026C&SUBSYS_30B7103C&REV_A2\3&13C0B0C5&0&81

Try reinstalling the driver. If that fails extract the driver to a folder and install the drivers through the Device Manager (Manual install)

This one indicates the Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card:
Network controller - PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4311&SUBSYS_1375103C&REV_02\4&14C5F9B7&0&0018

Driver here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...s&lc=en&dlc=en

The Unknown device - ACPI\HPQ0006\2&DABA3FF&0 should be the Quick Launch Buttons.

Thanks Bill,

Everything is now working with the exception of the network controller.

Any ideas?

**BCCOMP** · 03-07-2009, 05:51 AM

Hi,
Is it the wireless controller or the Lan (Hardwired)
Which DEV/VEN number is it?

Try this driver for the Wireless:

eaglemick · 03-07-2009, 05:38 PM

Hi Bill,

It was the wireless lan but this new driver has solved the problem.
