http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...n&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&os=228&product=3195402

by booting through XP CD through F6
utility after it gets installed it asks Insert the disk labelled Intel Matrix storage manager driver into drive A.press enter when ready

Instructions on doing it... If the floppy drive contanis those files listed it should work fine here

The other option is to slipstream the drivers into the XP install Cd

if the drivers from HP do not work, then use the originals from INTEL...

oops, wrong link, as you need a floppy image creator, which can be found here:

PS: the link is too long for the FORUM, thus you will have to copy and paste it into your browser...
