| 26 Krylar, on Feb 24, 2009 7:48:12 am GMTI have successfully installed Windows XP SP2 32-bit (then upgraded to SP3) on a HP Pavilion DV4 1275mx which originally came with Windows Vista 64-bit. (furthermore.. I have a Vista64/XP32/Ubuntu32 tri-boot.)
I have ALL drivers working - video, sound, wired network, wireless network, SD card reader, bluetooth, and accelerometer (protects against HD being damaged when dropped).
Note: The only one that is NOT loaded is the ACPI driver which handles sleep/hibernation/screen dimming/fan speed adjustment. If anyone has a solution to that please let me know. Its actually a fairly minor issue.
I cannot post a quick 'do it this way'. I've hacked and modified drivers from other manufacturers and OSes to create working ones for the DV4, which I'm very sure I can't post due to copyrights and EULAs. THESE ARE NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE ON THE WEB. At the risk of sounding like a tech support douche, I highly recommend sticking with Vista.
If you're set on converting to XP, I can make it happen, but I need to see some interest before I take the time to post a VERY lengthy tutorial on how to get all these drivers together and hacked to work. Reply if you want it. If I get enough interest, I'll write it up. | 28 dragon, on Feb 25, 2009 9:10:05 pm GMTOmg you are the person i need to be speeking to then because i have tried everything and i mean everything i have tried like 35 different xp versions i've spent money read page after page of stuff that was supposed to take care of my problem and keep comming up short i can't even get mine to go past the setup on the xp disks it blue screens i tried alot of different achi controller hard drive drivers i'm lost all i want is to go back to xp pro because vista is junk just my opion Krylar please help me i spent all that money and i have a paper weight now took me 2 months to pick it out i love the laptop it is sweet just hate vista at factory default has 80 processes running holy crap that's way to many it would be nice if you have got yahoo messenger or msn then maybe you could send me the files i need then walk me through it might be easier for you then making a tutorial well hope you can help one way or another thanks for taking the time to post that i do have hope lol and if you can do it i should be able to get xp on this baby | 29 Krylar, on Feb 26, 2009 1:43:44 am GMTWhoa there.. punctuation is your friend. Periods. Multiple sentences.
Anyway, this is a VERY lengthy process. Expect to devote the better part of a day. I spent four doing it from scratch. I'll be writing it up soon, stay tuned. I'll have a tutorial by .. let's say Sunday. Also note that I've done this for the 1275mx and it may not work for other models, but hey, I guess it's worth a shot. | 30 dragon, on Feb 26, 2009 11:22:53 am GMTSorry about that i was in a hurry. I didn't think about what i was typing. But thank you for taking the time to help us that is very nice of you. |
| 52 andy22584, on Mar 8, 2009 4:49:48 pm GMTHey Krylar, I just bought a 1275mx and I couldn't install XP. I already tried several XP versions with SATA drivers with no luck. I'd really aprecciate that tutorial you mentioned before. Thank!! Andy from ARGENTINA. |

| 31 vatzgr, on Feb 26, 2009 11:47:05 am GMTHello there
i have a big problem with Hp pavilio DV7-1150ev same as you they have from bios only suport for vista OS i try with nlite and with iastor.inf drivers to make new cd with windows xp pro.. but the problem is one blue screen after the message windows start
i read many posts over here and i'm really confused much
how can i solve my problem??
regards and thank you | 33 Krylar, on Feb 27, 2009 3:34:30 am GMTDifferent model.. different hardware.. different drivers. Can't help ya there, sorry. It would take days to locate and rebuild drivers for another model and I have no idea if it would even be possible without looking into it. If I had an infinite amount of time..... ;-) Good luck. | 35 dragon, on Feb 27, 2009 7:14:40 pm GMTI can't wait for that tutorial on how to put xp on my DV4-1275mx. Hope i can get mine to work like you did Krylar. | 36 Krylar, on Feb 28, 2009 10:17:10 pm GMTMy whole day is booked. I'll be writing it up tomorrow, may not get it up til tomorrow night though. Check back soon :-) | 37 dragon, on Mar 1, 2009 7:55:14 am GMTWill do can"t wait and thanks again Krylar |
| 39 dragon, on Mar 2, 2009 11:19:47 am GMTI was hoping to start it this morning but i guess you haven't had time i understand. Take your time Krylar can't rush perfection lol. |
| Krylar, how's things going i hope fine. Looks like it might be taking alittle longer then you thought. It's all good lol guess it is going to be very hard for me never hacked drivers before. Oh well just thought i would see how things was going. I'll stop bugging you and just wait later. | 43 Krylar, on Mar 4, 2009 2:25:51 am GMTYeah... let's put it this way, I've slept about 6 hours in the last 3 days. Senior engineering classes suck. I do have it about half written. Sorry for the wait. | It's all good i'm just glad you are doing it. Hell don't kill yourself trying to all that just take your time it's all good bro. You get you some sleep k ttyl and good luck with your senior engineering classes peace |
| Well was hoping to have the weekend to put xp on my paper weight lol. Oh well hope you have been getting rest though and doing good with your classes bro. Take it easy peace.. |
|
|
| Haven't heard from you in awhile hope everything is going ok for you Krylar ttyl bye. |

| If you made a streamed Xp installation disc with nLite, make sure you format the entire hard drive, including the Vista backup. If you leave the Vista back up hiding on the hard drive it will "screw" with your Xp OS (blue screens etc;) |

| Anyone can help me to downgrade vista to xp in my hp dv4? Thanx a lot |
| 134 hribo, on Jun 6, 2009 12:35:47 pm BSTHello Krylar,
can you give us a short message if you are going to finish your tutorial about how to install xp on our dv4-1275mx laptops? I think, many people are going to be very thankful for your tutorial.
if don't have too much time to do that, could you just send us links for all of your drivers?
that's probably the most important part for all of us (find correct drivers).
thank you so much ;) |
| 137 xaper, on Jun 9, 2009 11:45:19 am BSTHi Krylar,
