I cant install my WinXP on my V3218TU, it says "Setup cannot find any hard-drive"

but i was able to boot the FreeDos. However, it says only 5.0GB free space left.

it sounds like the hard-disk is not yet formatted by the manufacturer.

Any ideas ??

I also have the same problem I bought a presario V3128TU with freedos but when tried to install Xp, Xp could not detect my hardisk eventhough the sistem does. Then i boot with Win98 installation cd and manage to format the hardisk and manage to get 80 gig but when i tried again to install xp the installtion could not detect my hardisk again. I called the hp customer care centre and they said to disble to native sata support on the bios. I did and it manage to procedd but when it reboot the xp installation displayed a fatal error saying it cannot copied file to the hardisk.
Then i jump to the internet and seaching for an answer. It happened that XP is having problem is u install it on a sata drive. Have to F6 and load the sata driver manual via a floppy disk...haha..now come the biggest trick..this notebook does now come with a floppy disk..and how the hell im going to install the sata driver..and xp installation only recognize floppy as a medium to load the driver..
i hope this will shed some light and im still trying to find a solution to this..

i have the v3010us (i am in the United States), which came with 512 pc2 4200 ram. I installed a 1gb module of corsair pc2-4200 valueram which works perfectly..it cost me approx $80USD. I am very happy with the laptop, it works perfectly and vista looks beautiful thanks to the extra ram.

A note: I tried to install Patriot brand memory into the laptop, and it did not work, so be careful. I also decided to stay with the ddr2-4200 memory because i read that it was either a) almost the same or b) faster than 5300 in most cases. it was also a lot less expensive.

well done site, i enjoy it!

hi, i am using V3203TU.

Currently, using Windows XP PRO.

Have done all the updates inclusive sp2 n etc.

Installed UAA , mine is using Intel Core 2 Processor but the Coxenant for Intel cannot work so i installed the Coxenant for AMD . It works for the SOUND.

but lastly, i still not able to get the MODEM to function. i check the control panel -> hardware-> there a sign "Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus" driver still not installed and i d/l the driver from hp site but it still did not work out for me.

It prompted "cannot locate media device"

Anyone know how to resolve this problem ?? thanks i 'd really appreciate it.

Thanks alot bro..

I disable the Native Sata Support and it works...Installing WinXP SP2.

but now I have problem installing the sound driver.

Same here...anyone can help ?

try to use the vista driver. it works for me (the audio and modem), although i don't understand why.. (and maybe risky)

Count me in thread starter, just bought V3222AU today, love the widescreen display thingy he, he

Downloaded the modem driver for Windows Vista and it's works ! Installation : Success.

however, it works on Windows XP Pro~ have yet to use the modem for dial-up, probably tonight and keep you guys update whether have any side-effects~ but let's hope not.

btw, "emofags" thanks for the valuable info ~ and we'd really appreciate it.
