Windows 7 ultimate compatible with HP zd8000?

As far as I know, the original zd8000 operating system is Windows XP. If you have Windows 7 installed, then you need to get Windows 7 disc and its product key. If you need the Windows XP reinstallation media, then you can use HP Windows XP reinstallation disc only (for example: HP Windows XP Professional with SP2 disc).

Is this in Device Manager? Did you notice this after the Win 7 upgrade? If so , it's a common problen when upgrading, Is that the only issue? Your Card Reader work? Modem? Co-processor? I have a HP Pavilion DV9320us I loaded Win 7 64bit Ultimate on with similar issues, modem, co-processor, card reader, etc. Use the Win Vista drivers, modify the drivers for Win 7. HP drivers found here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=ca&dlc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0001&lc=en&product=3548477& AND change compatibility of drivers , This will give you the general idea: http://www.techsupportforum.com/4478-installing-a-device-driver-under-compatibility-mode-in-windows-7/

This is an abnormal situation and you could contact HP or Microsoft for support.

However, before contacting Microsoft, ensure that you have a legitimate licensed version of Windows 7 Ultimate and that your (HP) Desktop or Laptop is compatible/capable of supporting the W7U version.

Hi. First things first is make sure that the printer is compatible with windows 7 Ultimate. You can search/download the printer driver at HP website. Install that driver then plugged in the printer to your computer.

Windows7 Should automatically install the drivers for your sound card so it may be due to your sound card not being compatible with windows7 or incorrect drivers have been installed
Download sound card drivers for your sound card and make sure there windows 7 compatible.

yes, just download a driver from hp official website, install and all done. :)

visit HP's site, http://www.hp.com/#Support enter your system details then download bios. after downloading the bios. close all open programs. remove any external device. make sure ac adapter is connected. then run the bios update. that should do it. =)
