HAY UNA TRADUCCION AL ESPAÑOL EN ESTA OTRA ENTRADA DEL BLOG
This post is an actualization of the post Instalar WinXP en la HP Pavilion dv2745 se which is in this blog, since the previous post the drivers download is from RapidShare, a lot need to spend some days to download all the archives, in this case I writhe the direct links form the HP and nVidia web page.
In this case I have in my hands and other laptop, the Pavilion dv2845se model, which contain the same parts than the Pavilion dv2745se model. But now I install Windows XP 64bits, to take advantage the double nucleolus. As I explain in the other post, at the moment of tried to find the drivers from HP webpage, it becomes a horrible situation. So after a lot of searchings and the online HP souport ( thanks to Darryl for his unvalued patience and help ) I found the drivers for this two laptop models in the cases of Windows XP 32bits and Windows XP64bits.
Here are the specifications for these two models, remember that have a AMD processor, chioset and video card nVidia
To download the drivers continue reeding the post. Just one detail, in Win XP 64b case I can not make available the microphone, if someone have the correct driver I appreciate to post the download site in a comment.
