https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/sm-bus-controller-driver/m-p/4797512#M12471 Hello:<BR /><BR />I just bought a Pavilion p7-1070t that came pre-installed with Windows 7.<BR /><BR />However, I wanted to install Windows 2008 Server Release 2. Everything went smooth. The only device hat remains unrecognized by the device Manager is the SM Bus controller. I have installed the Chipset again and againand it did not solve the issue.<BR /><BR />When I contacted HP Technical support, they gave us the usual answer, "We support only the OS the system shipped with"!<BR /><BR />Can someone help?<BR /> <BR /><BR />Venki<BR /> Thu, 09 Jun 2011 20:46:34 GMT Venkat Venkataramanan 2011-06-09T20:46:34Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/sm-bus-controller-driver/m-p/4797512#M12471 Hello:<BR /><BR />I just bought a Pavilion p7-1070t that came pre-installed with Windows 7.<BR /><BR />However, I wanted to install Windows 2008 Server Release 2.
