Im gonna MAKE THEM give it to me...dagnabbit

So now I'm hosed - no drivers for XP for networking and other devices and I can't boot into Vista either because I have no non-OEM restore style disk with which to do so...hmmm I think I need to make a new friend <grin>

I'm gonna end up upgrading Vista anyway, aren't I LOL

i am assuming u have another working computer with internet access since u can reply this
u can download the hp drivers from their website

what hp series r u using? i am using dv2200 series
hp website does not have the xp drivers since the laptop ship with vista
i downloaded all the drivers from dv2175ea and all working great

if u need specific instruction maybe u can pm me

I also have an HP with Vista pre-installed and no Vista DVD whatsoever. I partitioned the D: for XP but when I go to install XP it only shows C: available. And I do not want to overwrite anything by installing XP on the C: so how do I go about keeping both OS?

Not only do you need to partition the drive but you need to format it and assign a drive letter. You should also have that option within the XP installation. XP should show unpartitioned or un allocated space. Once you allocate it then it should show a drive letter
