xp drivers for HP Pavilion dv6215ea

[cla78]

Hi to everyone!!

I need xp drivers for HP Pavilion dv6215ea.

On the xp driver page (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=228&lc=it&dlc=it&cc=it&product=3366705&lang=it) there isn't anything useful.

On the vista drivers page (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=2093&lc=it&dlc=it&cc=it&product=3366705&lang=it) i can find all kind of drivers instead.

Can someone help me finding xp drivers??There is another hp notebook similar to  the dv6215ea that has xp driver i can install on my  dv6215ea?

Thanks

Your model is one of the easy ones to downgrade.You should have the option in BIOS to diable Native SATA which will allow XP to see the hdd.Or you can slipstream the SATA driver as detailed above and leave BIOS as is.

Your model uses XP drivers from DV6000T HERE

Install Intel Chipset utility first and reboot before other drivers.For audio,MS UAA with another reboot before Conexant.Others can be installed in any order.Good luck with the downgrade!

Hi to everyone!!

Yesterday evening i have tried to downgrade my dv6215ea.

All right except for audio,ethernet and wifi driver u have linked in the first answe;i've installed the dv6000t drivers and all now is ok!!Thanks a lot!

I have only one problem with the webcam that have been installed during xp installation and named "USB video peripheral" or in italian "Periferica video USB".

When i try to check it for example using image acquisition it tells me that  can't reprodice the image and to check if ti is used bay another program or user.

I have tried also to donwload and install all 3 webcam drivers type but unsuccesfully.

In the dv6215ea product specification there is a voice about the cam and it's named "HP Pavilion webcam with stereo integrated microphones "... i think the correct driver is this one HP Pavilion Webcam Driver

Can somene help me ?

Thanks

Hi to everyone!

Thanks a lot for the quick answer!i'll try as soon as possible!

However i can see under the device manager a USB video peripheral and looking on the pc i can see "1.3 MP" on the webcam (on the top of the notebook monitor) but it doesn't turn on when i try to use xp image acquisition for example and also after installing these 3 types of driver from the dv6000t xp driver section:

HP 1.3 MegaPixel (MP) Webcam Software Drivers

HP VGA Webcam Software Drivers

HP Pavilion Webcam Driver

I have never installed any software perhhaps this is the reason!

I'll try!

Thanks!
