OK so the DV6604NR is a refurb of the DV6000. I am trying to install WinXP with SP3 on the system. The drivers they offer are not the complete ones. I did find the HP forum thread about this laptop showing how to jerry rig it into working with "tweaked" drivers and such. Is there anyone out there who can lead me to real drivers that would work for this thing? Using the tweaked drivers only made 80% of the drivers work and not to mention the moment I tried to update drivers it hosed the system.

I tried using Everest, and Speccy. Both could not ID the hardware, and the video card was not even seen by those tools, it just came up as video display and nothing else.

No I do not want Win7 on it or Vista, the system ran OK but didn't achieve what I wanted as far as speed. I did try making a slipstream trimmed Win7 but the software for that is not perfect and it makes a 8GB iso because it includes all Win7 types when making the iso.
