Hi! Like a million others I have problems downgrading Preinstalled computer with Vista to Xp.
And YES i have searched all over the internet for solution but not found any. If someone manages to find me a solution on the internet already for my problem Iam happy to transfer 10000000 dollars to that persons account, that sure am I about have read all solutions out there. I do not want to have vista and XP. Just Xp nothing else
Now to the Problem
I have a Hp Pavilion dv6 1100so
for the specs
HP Pavilion dv6-1100 Entertainment Notebook PC-serien specifikationer produkter - HP Hem och hemmakontoret
Notice " SATA Hard disk drive "
You know my Problems, now my attempts at solving this problem.
1) Inserted a Xp install disk sp1 and booted it. The computer loaded the disc and at the end of the screen wich loades the drivers from the Cd, the computer gave me the " blue screen of death.
2) Reformatted everything, the complete OS and all partions. And inserting Windows Xp install cd with Sp1. Blu Error Screen Again, at the same load screen.
3) Installed Vista again. Put in Xp install disc with Sp2, did not even load, all i saw was, " Press any key to boot disc.. " after i Pressed, it stayed black untill Bue error screen Showed up.
4) Formatted everything again. Put in the sp2 disk, same thing. I also want to mention that i burned the sp2 disc on a Dvd Rw. The sp1 disc was on a Cd R. ( but i did try the Dvd rw after i burned it and it did boot on my other computer )
5) Read the internet about SATA ( disabling it or something, cant remeber now) , okay i thought no problem, i entered bios setup " esc " and could not find anything with the word SATA. The only thing i could change was like the Clock and the priority in Booting things. This is were most pepole solve thier problem, they find this option to turn of something and they can install Xp.
6) Installed Vista again, read more about SATA drives (slipstreaming?) in the boot disc for xp. So i tried with this disc
Still did not work, same with the sp2 disc, it did not boot after the text " press any key to boot disc "
7) Formatted everything again and tried with the same cd, still the same.
Can my computer even install Xp?
I really need help with this. Please somebody
