HP Recommended
Product: HP DV2617US
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista

I have an older HP DV2617US notebook that I bought years ago.

I replaced it a few years back with an HP Envy 15T.
I want to set up the DV2617US to run XP.
I bought a new hard drive for it and have a full XP installation CD.

Since it has a SATA drive XP won't recognize the drive.
I can burn an installation disc using NTlite but I need the SATA drivers to incorporate into it.

I tried using the drivers that Device Manager pointed to but as they are .sys files and NTlite wants .inf file it won't work.
I've spent hours looking for them and so far nothing.
I've contacted Intel as it has a Core Duo T5250 processor but because of its age they offer no help at all.
I would greatly appreciate anyone pointing me in the direction of those driver files.

Thanks
