This is again one of the high class notebooks, that has good specification and it sure is fancy looking, but running Windows Vista on it is simply a sin. Why punish you and your machine to work harder and slower when you can just install Windows XP and enjoy your full performance? Well as easy as it sounds (and as it should be) HP didn’t provide the drivers for windows xp for this model. But you shouldn’t worry. That is where me and my blog come in. I have gathered all of the Windows XP Drivers for HP Pavillion dv6-1040ev. If you want to install windows XP on this notebook however, you should first disable the SATA Enhacned option in the BIOS. You can do that by hitting the F1 key during first startup. You should search for an option called SATA mode: Enhanced and change that to Native. After that just boot from your Windows XP cd and install it like you always do.

Sorry but the link for the drivers is for a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 3525.
Please help me with the correct link.
Thanks in advance.
Just fixed it, sorry about that it is an honest mistake.
Thank you for notifying me!
I have an hp 2133 netbook without cd/dvd. The BIOS will not recognize any input device besides the HDD or Ethernet. How can I replace the actual Vista with XP or 7?
