    I have a laptop HP Pavilion DV 6000 CTO Notebook PC. It comes with Windows Vista. I recently formatted the HD in order to install Windows XP SP2. I was successful in installing windows XP and also downloaded and installed drivers from this website (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=1842155&lang=en)

    The problem I faced was that installation of drivers was very cumbersome and in the process I made a couple of mistakes but eventually nearly everything has been installed but a couple of things are not working e.g. WLAN isnt working. You guys can see in the attached pic a view of device manager and 'Wireless Assistant' which shows that WLAN is disabled.

    In the built-in help it said that I should go to BIOS and enable WLAN from there but I couldnt find any such option there.

    Please help me. Its very urgent!!
