Unidentified devices I have recently reinstalled Win XP SP2 onto a HP COmpaq nc8430 notebook. Two devices appear as unidentified (in the other devices list)and in addition, windows picks up, but cannot initializa the driver for the scsi raid controller as well as the pnp bios extension. All this despite my downloading and installing all the latest drivers for this notebook from the hp website.

Although SP2 is improved, the device drivers can still be used from the original CD to initialize drivers. Insert this CD when prompted to update drivers.

Need to enable wireless adapter on hp compzaq 6710b laptop

Can you check to show whether your wireless adapter is showing up in Device Manager? (Go to Control Panel if you don't know where to find Device Manager) Your wireless card should show up under Network Adapters. If it does not, check your unidentified devices for "Unidentified NIC" or something like that.

If you do see it as an unidentified device, visit the HP site's support section to download the latest drivers for it.

If it is listed in the correct section, make sure it is enabled by right clicking its name and selecting enable. (This option will not be visible if it is already enabled)

If it is identified and enabled, try to uninstall and reinstall HP Wireless Assistant.

If none of those work, you may have a hardware issue and you should gather your warranty and support information and give HP a call.

I have installed window 7 in my hp nx6310 but after installation there is no sound how do i solve this please

Please go to device manager and check if there's no device with exclamation mark (unidentified), if this is OK maybe your audio card is only muted or with low volume, if it's as unidentified, you must search the corresponding Windows 7 driver for ADI Soundmax audio card.

I have notebook Compaq 6715b with Windows XP (no SP2). Sound doesnt work. drivers from HP official site not working

Hello,

trust me, the fault is from the win xp SP2. I am saying this with confidence and out of experience. Except if the audio drivers you downloaded is for win vista.

While running the Win xp, some files make have skipped/not installed which is making the sound not to work. Or maybe you have initially installed a wrong audio driver.

To solve this problem. you have to re-run the win xp, if possible, use another xp Cd, maybe not Sp2.

After installation, let the audio driver be the fist thing you install.

Take care.

Unable to pair samsung t729 blast with bluetooth on hp nc8430

Read the manual that came with your device. It should tell you in the manual what the default pin is. You can try 0000, or 9999, or 1111 just for the heck of it...it's usually something like that. (not sure on the number of digits for your device, but I think it would be 4)

Driver installation

Deinstall SP3. Nothing works with it.
If you can't deinstall it, you'll have to reinstall Windows, I'm sorry.

I hope this helps,

Windows os

Its true. the Bios or HDD driver wont allow you to install Win XP on it.. This BIOS is compatible with only Win Vista. The only easy way to do it is by creating 2 partitions while installing vista. once vista is installed- install XP with Dual boot and than format the vista partition.
