HP Pavilion a1540n

[PRPhx]

I just purchased an HP Pavilion a1540n. Nice pc. Comes with a AMD X64 4200+ cpu, 2 gigs or RAM, and a 250 GB SATA hd. The OS is Windows XP Media Center.

Question here is: Has anyone gotten any other OS to load successfully? I need to load Windows Server 2003 on this pc. Actually thhe OS did load, but things like the network controller, video controller, etc. didn't load. I down loaded the nvidia Win2K driver, ran it, still nothing. Anyone have any suggestions. I really need Win2K3 to connect to the internet, as I do dev work and you can't do a lot on Win MCE.

You need to find the right drivers for your hardware. I have found that some of the XP drivers will work with Windows 2003 server.
Could you use Windows XP Pro, instead of WMCE? You should find that XP pro will work as well if not better than 2003 server.
