HP doesn't have much in the way of info posted on your model.Did you take an audit of hardware/drivers before removing Vista?

Try drivers from V6000Z cto,installing Nvidia Chipset Driver first.

If you have problems try Everest.

Look under Motherboard and then Chipset and report what you see.Also check other hardware such as Audio,ethernet,etc.

I posted this in another thread, thought it might be useful here...

Ok, I just finished rolling back my F730US to Windows XP MCE 2005. It wasn't so bad, here's how I did it...

1. Install Windows XP.

2. Install the Nvidia chipset drivers from here: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp33001-33500/sp33411.exe

This will get you wired network access.

3. Run Windows Updates. Make sure to install the hardware driver updates. This will get you the Broadcom Wireless and the Synaptics touchpad drivers.

4. Install the Microsoft UAA driver posted above from here: ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp32501-33000/sp32646.exe

After finishing, Windows will detect new audio and modem hardware. I chose to connect to the internet to look for drivers, and then to automatically install the drivers.

5. Install the video drivers posted above from here: http://tinyurl.com/2q6ss4

6. Install the HP QuickLaunch Buttons software from here: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp33001-33500/sp33258.exe

At this point everything is working and there are no errors or missing drivers shown in device manager.

I don't know if they're needed, but updated modem drivers can be downloaded from here: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp35501-36000/sp35942.exe

==========================================

My notebook is a f739wm. If these don't work I might suggest you try the online tech support and explain that you want xp drivers for your notebook. I also got a clear that doing so would not void manufacture warenttee. Make sure you get those recover disks built first though. I also posted in the couple of newer threads about the same issue. Good luck.
