Good evening,
I have a HP Pavilion DV6408nr laptop that needed a new hard drive. Needless to say, I had to install an operating system.
I bought the laptop used with XP installed. Had the laptop for a few months and the hard drive failed.
I replaced the hard drive and installed XP pro and now I have numerous conflicts as well as missing drivers. The laptop originally came with Vista home premium. I have not only primary IDE channels using the same ports, but secondary IDE channels as well. I also have 2 PCI devices, 2 base system devices, and a video controller using the same IRQ 11.
Are these issues easily repaired or am I barking up the wrong tree?
I ask these questions because of the yellow exclamations in the device manager under Other Devices and under the tab for IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers. Also, the wireless wasn't even recognized.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
