Question: I purchased a new Copaq Presario SR5010NX Product Number RZ537AA. It had windows vista home basic on it, so I reformatted the HDD and installed our corporate XP pro on it. However, I did not get the drivers off the hard drive first, and now I cannot even get the NIC to work to find the right updated drivers. I am looking online and coming up with drivers for 2000 for the NIC and audio and video for XP, but none of them seen to work.

When I check HP, I get this page

Software & Driver downloads*Compaq Presario SR5010NX Desktop PC

which actually gives me drivers for Vista, but nothing that will get the NIC working (that I can tell) and I'm not sure if these are even compatible with XP.

According to my device manager, I am having issues with: Ethernet Controller, PCI Device, PCI Simple Communications Controller, SM Bus Controller, Video Controller (VGA Compatible).

Here is my motherboard: HP and Compaq Desktop PCs*-* Motherboard Specifications, 945GCT-HM (Livermore)*

I need this up and running ASAP, any help would be great!
