porkchop Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I have a HP ZE4900 PC with windows xp home edition. None of my drivers are installed though. So I need to know how do I install them? I know that you need a disk but can i make it myself and if so i need info on that.

newls1 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Kind of confused with what your exactly looking for. Did you just format the notebook, and now your looking to reinstall everything fresh? A notebook is identical as a desktop, as far as software goes.

newls1 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 If your looking to reinstall everything fresh, then THE EASIEST WAY would be to install Win7 BETA (of full version if you can get it) as this new OS installs everything automatically (WOrks like a charm, couldn't believe it myself when I did it on my notebook) IF your looking to start fresh but an OS is already installed, then hit up HP, and download your NIC/WAP driver (only HP would have this driver) after that is done, you now have a working internet point, then download/install drivers in this order: If it is an INTEL based notebook, download the chipset driver, install it. THen the graphics driver (it might be included with the chipset drivers for a notebook) then just download the rest from the HP site, like the sound card drivers, there might be a special IDE/SATA driver, etc.......

raytard Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 you dont need a disk, the computer comes with it, but if you lose it youre kinda screwed UNLESS the website for your computer hosts a driver disk online. go to the hp site on a working computer and see whats available in the support section. if you cant find it, you have to do it the hard way find a program called "everest home edition" i think the website majorgeeks.com or something still hosts a mirror of it (its a free edition) i'm assuming your network driver isnt working, so download it on someone elses and transfer it over with a thumbdrive (windows should recognize usb) once its installed and runs, it will be able to tell you EXACTLY what is installed on your pc. some things to find for starters; Network card (most important, after this you can get online and start doing things without a thumb drive, may be called ethernet, wired or wireless) audio card-if its a laptop, probably some sort of intel integrated. if you can go to youtube and hear music you prob dont need it video card (alot use an intel 9 series integrated, if you cant get your screen to the right resolution, you gotta find the driver. wrong resolution=icons and text are way bigger than they should be, and you cant change it from control panel>display) after that feel free to track down all the random stuff for your media buttons, webcam, etc. Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
