jdm Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I'm running ubuntu and I love it but I want to put windows xp pro back on my computer with ubuntu still on it. Last time I did this I couldn't get my Internet to work so I gave up and put ubuntu on it. After a day I realized I didn't install the drivers for my hardware. I was wondering if you could help me find the drivers I need and I know if I do this I will have to put grub back on, so I was wondering if anybody had any advice on this. Thanks for the help. Here is my machine: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product...mp;lang=en&As far as I can tell this is my machine. On to the next question I have, my brother and me share a xp machine. I only use it for my itunes and some movie stuff, but my brother is being a butt about it. He got really perinode. He thinks that I'm going into his account and looking around. I do that once in a great while to clean up his stuff and so forth. I was just on that computer and I notice that he install some hide programs and he also install a spy program that took pictures of the stuff on the computer and who knows what else. I uninstall most of it and made him delete the rest. I think there is probably a chance that it is still there though. His account was the guest account but upgraded to limited or a level under it because he likes to mess with stuff. I have a computer admin. account on the computer and then my parents have a computer admin. account on their too, that they don't use but my brother has been getting on their and doing all this stuff. I changed the password so he couldn't get on but do you guys have any recommendations about how to find out what he is up too. Thanks for the help. JDM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 (edited) I am not sure what chipset that computer uses for drivers, the site listed does not list a 10/100 ehternet driver. Since you have ubuntu installed, boot that, then run the command /usr/sbin/lspci . This should show you what 10/100 ethernet chipset you are using. Then I could help you find the driver.

shanenin Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 (edited) After some research, it appears to use the Realtek RTL8100C. this is a download link for the 10/100 ethernet driverI did a quick search but think these are the correct chipset and graphics drivers.graphics(video) driverchipset driverI am pretty certain that HP computer uses this audio driver. I would only install it if XP does not have built in driver supportrealtek audio driver Edited June 14, 2007 by shanenin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shanenin Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 (edited) as to advice about your brother, not off hand.As to your drivers. I based my links to drivers on this pageAfter looking at your lspci output, I am not so certain my drivers are correct. you could try the intel chipset utility . It will probe your system and tell you what chipset and graphics driver you need.their is a chance you need the hp high def realtek driverhttp://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downlo...p;GetDown=false Edited June 14, 2007 by shanenin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
