I had to reinstall my laptop because of a bad hard drive.  I'm trying to download the driver on the website but it's just sitting there spinnning with the message, "This could take up to 3 minutes.."  I left it for hours and still no return.  

 

I had someone else tried it too on another laptop and still they're not getting any result.  Is there another way to download all the drivers for my laptop?

Hi:

 

HP retired support for that model series since it is over 10 years old.

 

What is the product number of your notebook?

 

I'll see if I can still find the drivers on the HP FTP site.

 

The product number can be found on the same label as the serial number.

 

Please do not post the serial number.
