Pavilion dv5000 / reinstall Windows XP drivers

I have a Pavilion dv5000 with an AMD processor. I had to reformat the hard drive and replace the motherboard and am now trying to reinstall the OS XP Media Center Edition 2005 and other basic functions.

After having staggered on and staggering forward (with a lot of web search, reading forums, trials and errors, download, fruitless efforts of installation, some successful steps, etc.). I'm now at this stage:

In Device Manager, everything is gone except for: 1) mass storage controller; and (2) SM Bus controller. He was much more problematic, but through the help of my dvd of the OS or the Internet to research and download I was able to address them individually. However, for these two I'm still confused on where and what drivers to install - they will be not installed through the wizard to update hardware ("hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software"), and I'm not sure advice from the forums.

I am now looking to service page the customer of HP Driver & Software Downloads - HP Pavilion dv5000 CTO Notebook , but with differing specifications and formulations, I can't understand that, if necessary, download driver would fix my problems.

Any tips or suggestions?

Hello:

First try these drivers and if they do not work, click on each device missing from Device Manager. Then click on the Details tab after the first string you see. Those who identify the manufacturer of the device and the device type and model.

With this info, I can try and find the right drivers for these devices.

SM Bus controller, I think needs chipset driver:

The other missing device is probably your card reader:

Once again, if they do not, post the details device ID and I'll look even more.
