Omnibook XT 1000 - DRIVER !!

[Roberto Zorzi_2]

I've installed Windows 2000 on a HP Omnibbok XT1000 but, where could I find devices driver?

I've tried to seek on HP site without success.

Roberto:

I suggest you contact HP in Italy and ask them to sell you the appropriate CD(s) for your system and OS. Here in the US, it's 1-800-HP INVENT.

Make a great day!

So I would go to

http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=2

and try their drivers. Start with the Chipset Driver then pick up the others as you need them.

Hi, thanks for the specification, but I've just found some more specific with possibility to download Driver, manuals and utility from the site www.martini-man.com :) (on pub directory).

I've just download all drivers (chipset, ATA, AGP, Video, Audio) from VIA-Arena, new driver from Synaptics (touchpad), from Realtek (LAN Driver), and from ESS-Technologies (Modem).

All work Fine but I've still an "unknown device" listed on my hardware profile.
I can't understand what could it be.

My omnibook don't have bluetooth and the firewire port is correctly recognized by Windows.

What could it be?

Roberto:

Is the BIOS at v1.10? See:

Make a great day!

Not Yet, beacause Omnibbok XT1000 don't have internal floppy drive and I have to burn a bootable cd to update bios.
