HP Pavillion Media Center m8000n drivers

[GreyRock]

Anyone have a working link or any info to the HP drivers page specific to the m8000n? I'm there but it just sits there with the logo spinning endlessly. States it can take up to 3 minutes to retrieve the drivers, try 3 hours, 3 days and beyond! Thanks

Thanks Paul and all you helped, I realize it’s a legacy product and I should have known better with a company like HP, never had issues with Dell. Anyway it’s just a small project I’m working on to show my grandson what’s involved, who at this time has an interest. If needed, I’ll post the product ID’s and/or check Ebay etc for original system CD’s. Thanks again! Great community!

You're very welcome.

Since the PC originally came from HP with Vista installed, the only recovery disks will be for Vista.

You can order a set of original recovery disks from this vendor at the link below if you want.
