Looking for Drivers

Hey guys, I just bought a new laptop:
HP Pavilion TL-58 (DV6627CA)

This laptop originally came with Vista home as the OS.
AS i am an XP fan, I scrap vista and put xp on it. Thought the last time i checked on HP websites, the drivers of this laptop for XP weren't out yet. I went trough other similar laptops (same specs) to get the drivers. But haven't found all of them, I was wondering if anyone that has this laptop with XP, can you please send me your driver's.

Any other help would be appreciated.

Not sure if you tried this, but maybe if you have a recover, or driver cd you could look at the manufacturer of those devices and go to their site and see about the xp drivers.

Just a thought.

You may be out of luck - I doubt HP will *EVER* support XP on it if it came preloaded with Vista. You should have bought a BUSINESS laptop with XP if you wanted XP. A Pavilion is a consumer item, not a business item.

I was wondering, cause my friend also bought a Pavilion laptop from HP, and the drivers for XP came out 1 month after he bought it, I hope they come out for mine.


If anybody else have the same laptop running XP, let me know plz

Yes, but remember Alex, his laptop was a buisness laptop. I guess I'll just have to take a serious look at this soon, eh?
