UltimateEdition Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 A few months ago I bought an HP Pavilion DV5T laptop. It's good performance and came with Vista Home Premium.After buying the computer I immedietly formatted the hard drive and tried to install Windows XP x64. Setup loaded the files, but bluescreened before getting to the first prompt. I tried 2 different Windows XP 32 bit cd's and the same thing happened.Right now I'm dual booting Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 beta but I have really just wanted XP on this computer. It still bluescreens when I try to install.I consider myself to be an advanced computer user; I've installed XP onto no less than 200 computers and I've never had this problem. What do you think could be wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seshomaru Samma Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 It probably has a SATA AHCI Controller which you need a driver for, XP doesn't come with it so you need to slipstream it into your XP install media. Google for a nLite - it will allow you to slipstream whatever you want.EDIT: quick googling came up with this :http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?ProductID=2101&DwnldID=16013&lang=eng Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
