I made recoverery disks a couple days ago and installed XP yesterday. So far so good. I followed the first guide in the 5th post here
That post on HP's own forum links to these other pages:
Links to:
dv6748us windows xp drivers
The Official DV6704nr "Vista t...er.do?threadId=1204621[/l]
DV6790NR appears to be essentially the same model under the HP name with the same motherboard that comes with more RAM, a larger hard drive and a higher price.
I got on HP's tech support chat, and one of their people e-mailed me a list of links to XP drivers for this machine. I have to go out to see a client, right now. I'll check the above links to compare it to the list he gave me. If the e-mail from the tech has more info, I'll post it.
And for the sake of whatever deity you believe exists, boot the beast, and make your recovery disks before you wipe the drive to install XP.
