Ok.. so I am doing a favor for one of my friends and it involves upgrading an old HP Pavilion notebook. 1.0ghz prcssr, 128mb ddr ram, 10gig ide hdd, floppy, + random other stuff but the important question is... i am getting a new hard drive and performing a clean installation of xp pro sp2. MY QUESTION IS THIS:
where can i get the motherboard drivers if HP does not offer them in the support and drivers section of their website??? HP Pavilion N5250

Ladies and Gentlemen.. the answer is simple and I'm very disappointed that my question could not be answered more directly. Upon my own trial and error enterprising, i have discovered that the laptop comes with an integrated onboard memory of usually 800mbs. this memory is directly responsible for installing and ensuring communication of hardware on any harddrive and preloads all software immediately. in otherwords, no motherboard drivers are required, only updates. again.. this is a sad day for afterdawn, but hopefully this question will not come up again-

It came off as a little more than rude, even your apology sounds a little rude.
Icanbe, is right people took the time and effort to try to assist you should be appreciative.
You got pretty much what you asked for, short of a BIOS link.
