Can not connet lan with presario c500

Computer is probably too old to recognize an SSD. You may be able to find a firmware upgrade. Did you boot into the BIOS and try and find the SSD?

..

go to campaq (hp) site and download the drivers you need. Just follow the instruction where as laptop selection is concerned and download the relevant drivers.
As for home edition, you will have to get that cd or download it from various sites, even torrents and burn it to disc.

Best Regards

I'm assuming this card comes built it with the Compaq Presario C500 notebook. In that case, a possible driver for this card could be:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=3318986&prodNameId=3413015&swEnvOID=2093&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=ob-52447-1 (Windows Vista/7)
Due to lack of information, or the age of the card itself, I cannot guarantee the accuracy of this driver

if you mean the driver that will be on the manufacturers website ( for the wireless card )

If you mean something else post back and clarify and I will help you later onw hen I am back.

before installing device manager and write down drivers for
display
audio
video
network
then with cd in drive while pressing f7 restart then choose option cd dvd\cd press enter follow instructions
will ask to delete selected click to delete read all instructions it will confirm deletion then once it returns to a selected
then continue winxp will install

download link is in www.download.com

here you are

select the proper model and a list of drivers will come up, select audio and it will download to your computer, run it , follow the on screen instructions and it will install it self and you computer will now detect the audio device. restart and enjoy your music.

Go to Compaq site, and check if there are drivers for win xp. Mind that xp does not include drivers for the most recent hardware. Have you tried installing sp2 and sp3? These carry more recent drivers than SP1 and older vesions. And if there are no drivers for xp, you are stuck with vista.

I HAVE VISTED TO COMPAQ SITE, BUT THERE I ALSO DONOT GET THE SOUND DRIVE OF Presario C700 FOR XP
I HAVE NO AUDIO DRIVER FOR COMPAQ C700 WINXP SP2

I know this problem, The HDD is a SATA disk, win XP setup cannot identify a SATA controller on it's own you need to load the driver (from a disk) so you may need to download it first. I think this is the correct link http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-51521-1&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=3369431&os=228&lang=en extract the files and burn to a CD or Floppy then run win XP setup by booting from CD you should see in the begining of win XP setup from CD it prompt you to press (I think) F2 to add RAID or SCSI Controllers, (this prompt is at the bottom of the screen) Then follow the propmts to load from the disk you made earlier. you should be able to select the controller from a list. (short list) you should then be able to continue and hopefully Win XP setup should now be able to see your HDD and give you choices about which partition (as per normal) you want to remove all partitions before installing winXP (you can then make whatever partitions you wish) Hope this helps
