HP Pav. dv6604nr Entertainment PC------Drivers NEEDED for WINDOWS XP

[TedKoro]

I cleaned out Vista and installed XP home edition version 2002 service pack 2.

I now need all of the drivers.

Can someone please oblige or point me in the right direction? I already checked the driver section for this laptop and there doesn't seem to be enough drivers available for a full install.

thanks in advance,

Ted
