Driver not working!!?!?!?!?

Ehstii · Jan 11, 2008

alright, i have a hp dv6707us laptop...i tried to upgrade from vista to XP but it didnt work tooo well. so im putting vista back on. now my only problem is that i cant get the HP quick touch buttons to work correctly and my wireless card had a problem installing itself. ive tried numerous diferent things to fix this but i am totally tapped.

the wireless card is an atheros ar5006x

p.s. yes i already went to HP's website and tried what they had listed and nothing worked.

I am confused about something.
How did you try to upgrade from Vista to XP?
Isnt it the other way around....XP to Vista.
Either way 2 OSs cannot exist on the same partition of a HD.
If it does you have to delete one, that could be causing your issue.

Hopefully you didn't nuke your recovery partition. All you need to do to get back a proper/full functioning vista is to restore the machine.

yes, upgrade FROM vista TO XP =]]

XP is better than vista, but thats not what this thread is about....

and its only one OS on one partition

well, unfortunatley i deleted the HP_recovery partition only to obtain that space for other stuff. but yea...i cant seem to find a fix. there must be some other way to get this to work...

Edit: I've done it before with a different customers laptop, i just cant remember exactly what i did or anything...

Well, thats a stupid move...you know thats like 30 bucks down the drain. Hopefully you made those recovery cd's (the first the machine, and HP, tells you to do).

Ehstii · Jan 11, 2008

yea, i know...but theres a way too do it, i just cant figure it out.

ktr · Jan 11, 2008

Well if you nuked the recovery partition, then that is gone. It find the drivers, i guess you have to google the web and see if other peeps had the problem and the solution (the links to working drivers).

Ehstii · Jan 11, 2008

yea...ive been doing that for the past 2 days...lol

im about to just run a recovery on the drive to get that HP_recovery partition backk

ktr · Jan 11, 2008

If there is data/clusters written in the recovery partition area, then recovery will not work. The last choice is to order the disks from hp.

lol, every one wants to downgrade to XP.

driver66 · Jan 11, 2008

Not me

Ehstii · Jan 11, 2008

yea, i still cant figure it out.

basically it installs the drivers for the wireless card but it says, "This device cannot start (code 10)

Have you thought about installing the original driver and THEN going to Atheros to update? Might work!

Maybe worth a try!

1st download this!

Then go HERE for support......

Might work, never know till ya try! :cool:
