You have now the Compaq Presario CQ61-319WM in front of you is preloaded with Win7, but you want to downgrade to your copy of XP64bit.

Your system is:

AMD Athlon II M300 64-bit multiprocessor Dual Core @ 2 GHz

RS780/RS880 (M)<- your="" northbridge="">
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 (3400 variant?)<- your="">
SB750<- southbridge="">

1 unit comes with a 250 GB HARD drive. Replace it with another SATA HDD for your copy of xp64 bit before powering it, by registering and activating, seeing that this solution is not yet complete, saving your software Windows 7 preinstalled in this way.

NOTE: Do not install Windows XP 64 - bit Edition on your current 250GB Win7. If you did get the Compaq CD to restore.

Download nLite from 2 a. nLiteOS.com to integrate SATA drivers (called: "Slipstream") inside your Windows CD otherwise: BSOD. (recommended method)

-or-

2B. After changing BIOS to recognize the floppy USB download drive drivers SATA on diskette and the XP CD, press F6 to manually load these drivers SATA AHCI floppy.

3. use your Slipstreamed CD and let XP starts normally (no key of F)

-Si Windows successfully installed continue-

4. now that XP64 bit runs the first thing that you want to install the .NET Framework 3.0 would be.

5. install Visual C++ redistributable (free version)

6 install the network driver. See below

NOTE: 8102 & 8103 pilots would most likely work, not 8139 family.

Here is a list of the most easy to install drivers:

-Agere Systems HDA Modem - SOLVED!

-Atheros AR9285 WiFi adapter - SOLVED!

and the most difficult of them...

-AMD Mobility Radeon HD 4200 shared memory<(unsolved)>

-IDT High Definition Audio CODEC<(unsolved)>

-Realtek RTL8139/810 x Fast Ethernet Adapter - SOLVED!

-AMD AHCI SATA Compatible RAID controller - SOLVED!

On our test unit CQ61 we currently have ALL but TWO missing drivers. the Audio driver and the video!

After consultation with AMD, IDT and Insyde each has decided that this problem is with Compaq "Softpaqs Engineering Team", in the meantime a viable solution. Support for Compaq of level 2 has been unable to help in this case, however, agreed to intensify this concern to the "level 3" (genius).

"Diversity is the key to break the monotony" Obviously, still a challenge for the Presario team in this area.

Our testing shows that the problem exists in the firmware of the cards mothers; Perhaps the BIOS. Insyde (SSII BIOS) indicated that HP/Compaq has the "sp?.» solution "exe" and refused further assistance because of HP/Compaq contracts. "

So why Compaq insist on locking/force their users in Windows 7, without other Windows based operating system options for this model and others who are currently in production? We're going to investigate.

Currently, Windows XP 64-bit Edition is still being supported by Microsoft after January 10, 2010. So why not HP?

Finally.

Here we have the more stable driver, for most official, complete the value for the model CQ61 running XP64 (and possibly XP as well). It concerns all the drivers listed below:

Driver SATA AHCI-

Bus - SM

-Realtek Ethernet Controller

-ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 video driver

Driver Modem Agere-

-Atheros WiFi driver

Use this forum as the timestamp.

There were too many sources to the list for the updated driver, so a full driver package was created in place to keep things simple, without all the headaches of doing it yourself.

This package should work on XP 64-bit operating systems based and is released as is. The instructions are inside each directory.

NOTE: After downloading Please run the 1st prerequisites folder, then all other folders depending on numbers starting with 1 ( 0 record is for your slipstream). Here are the details of the file:

Compaq CQ61-319WM Presario VM319WM Driver for XP64bit.7z

As always with any software Please check against your trust of anti-virus software on a clean system.

You will need 7zip, which can be downloaded from www. 7-zip.org in order to extract its contents.

Download here.

Last NOTE: If MD5 checksums do not match after downloading, remove it immediately. In this community, we are here to assist you in all possible ways to make your life a little easier with the PC. This is an ongoing process and the development of this package has been a joint effort from many sources. However, we remain optimistic for the official drivers of HP if they also, we support the cause as highlighted in their slogans and advertising. All in all societies can only works in their resources when it comes to projects like this however... "Diversity is the key to break the monotony", that's why we all think alike. We will stay hopeful. Thank you for your support. * UART *.

  • Downgraded from Windows 7 RC1 for Vista Home Premium - now cant access partition Bitlocked

    Hello

    I've been running Win 7 RC1 7100 32 bit on my laptop since its release and found absolutely great and have not been issued with it either. Unfortunately I had to return to my previous operating system, Vista Home Premium because of the RC1 of the trial is about to expire. (I have not yet bought my new copy of Windows 7 Home Premium).
    I had a configuration partition C and D under WIn 7 RC1, with D used to store personal data.  I used Bitlocker the lock on this partition.  I prepare to remove RC1 this weekend I moved all my other documents and downloads of the libraries under the D partition C for later access and moving them back to C when Vista was facing up and running.
    But when I tried to access the drive D Vista he invites me to format this drive.  When I looked under administrative tools - disk management it says that the D partition is secure by Bitlocker.
    How can I access my data on the D partition?  I have a good amount of photos on the D drive and I still need!
    I thought to download Win 7 RC1 again to install it so I can have access to the Bitlocker tool, but I can't find it on the Net.
    Please any help would be appreciated.

    The download is finished for a long time.

    It's something that you have made while using Windows 7.

    It comes with Vista, upgrade install and activate Forum.

    You will need to do a clean install of Windows 7.

    You should try to install Windows XP Home (SP2 or SP3) using SATA driver to start loading. In this case do not use the compatibility mode but AHCI mode.

    Without load the driver (F6 option at startup to install of WXP) SATA disk HARD will be not visible to Windows XP Home edition.

    When you request support, please provide the number of name and/or product of comprehensive model of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models which are all different. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you solve your problem.

    The information requested above are at the bottom of your computer or inside the battery compartment.

    Any consumer HP computers ship with a factory specified operating system installed on them. If the store had to change the operating system to your application, they installed the OS and all need drivers properly? They provide you with a legitimate copy of Windows 7... including the COST of Microsoft with the Windows 7 product key? They create the need Windows 8 HP recover Media? If they do not have to do everything above, I wonder about their motivations and ethics.

    original title: Downgrade from windows 7 to XP

    If you have an HP computer with Windows 7 pre-installed,

    (a) you will not be able to find the drivers for your computer hardware for XP (except if you bought your computer, just like Windows 7 was spilled) - even if you could find somehow a copy of XP to install and

    Dear community

    I really would like to substitiute the Windows 7 operating system for installation of Windows 8. I was told that is not possible, but I wanted to check with you before I give up on this issue.

    Thank you

    JB39STR

    WARNING *.

    HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

    Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

    You should ENABLE 'Secure Boot' and 'Legacy Support' in the 'BIOS Setup boot secured' on the settings below page before you may try to install Windows 7;

    or

    In addition, as the hard drive is partitioned as TPG, you must start the computer by using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" in the start menu "F9". If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or something to that effect does not exist in the start menu, please post a screenshot and/or make startup listed options.

    I suggest to use a disc of Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need a Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. The USB can not be recognized as valid a source of UEFI boot by some computers if it is formatted in NTFS and may require some modifications to work correctly.

    Here are the specifications of your laptop Compaq CQ58-331SA. For your model, HP seems to provide that drivers of Windows 8. Many drivers Windows 7 (with the exception of the Audio driver) from the page of drivers PC laptop HP Pavilion 2123us g6 should run on your computer. Please try this Realtek HD Audio Driver. Do not use the BIOS file in the page g6-2123us is not compatible with your model.

    Thanks for posting to the Windows Device Manager "Hardware ID" additional missing or unknown devices, as shown in the example below.

  • Downgrade from Vista to XP for Satellite A210-16F PSAEL

    Other users of laptops from Toshiba greetings

    I come to you with what I noticed to be a fairly frequent problem for users of Satellite A2xx - downgrade from Windows Vista to XP.

    I am owner of a 2 - day old of a Toshiba Satellite A210 - 16F PSAEL (AMD processor) and Vista Home Premium crashes on me during the installation of an application. So I searched the forum and found a full list of the XP drivers for the series equipped with AMD (my thanks for people who have set up their discoveries). I also found a guide to downgrade to XP, but it was the Intel-based and intended for users A200.

    My question would be if there is such a guide out there for the A210 series, the AMD-based or could someone please indicate the steps to follow for the downgrade.

    Thanks in advance

    Interested, too, that's why push this thread a little, aka a friendly BUMP ;)
