yesterday just help my friend install window xp

I found the following information on the Newegg web site under reviews for this computer. It was supplied by Bill Greganti - many thanks to Bill.
How to get Windows XP installed...
1. Install Windows XP.
2. Install the Nvidia chipset drivers from here:
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp33001-33500/sp33411.exe This will get you wired network access.
3. Run all Windows Updates. Make sure to install the hardware driver updates. This will get you wireless and touchpad drivers.
4. Install the Microsoft UAA driver from here:
ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp32501-33000/sp32646.exe Windows will detect new audio and modem hardware, choose to connect to the internet to look for drivers, and then to automatically install the drivers.
5. Install the video drivers from here:

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp33001-33500/sp33258.exe However, the video drivers do not install easily. They install as 2 separate drivers - both GeForce Go 6100 but on the first installation, my driver ended with an error code of 10 (could not start). This causes a driver to show in Device Manager with an exclamation point after it. At this point you can just click on the Setup.exe file in the drivers folder and Nvidia installs the correct driver for you. Do not try to delete the yellow ? drivers for VGA before this last step our you will have problems.
My unit always seems to need 2 separate drivers installed - one that fails and one that works. If I tried to use the Setup.exe in the drivers folder after deleting the 2 yellow question mark drivers that failed on the first try, Nvidia says the drivers do not exist for this computer. You MUST force the install with a GeForce Go 6100 to get the ball rolling. After that, the second driver was recognized and installed correctly on the computer.
Just as was mentioned by Tzetsin in this post, the "Turn off monitor" option in Energy Saver - Power Options Properties should be turned off because it will not come back after blanking the monitor. However, the Standby mode seems to work well and will bring back the screen even if the "Turn off Monitor" fails to do so.
Good luck
