Hello guys, i am using HP Pavillion dv2000 (Dv2519tu). I need drivers for Windows 2003 Server. The official website doesn't show support for the same. So does any one knows about installing drivers for the OS please do send me the download links. I have preinstalled Microsoft's Vista Home Premium.
Thank U:D

wat do u mean u need links 2 drivers
drivers r hw specific u need 2 specfy ur hw config 4 ne body 2 help u [u askin 4 2 much if u expect people 2 check out model and its specs online]

ne way i 2 use Win Server 2003 and dis is wat i observed

Sound card drivers - Available

Grafix Card drivers - tho d unified driver says it is 4 2K/XP it installs fine and i am able 2 run it with all bells and whstles on

Chipset Controllers - Using 2K vrsion and it is runnin absolutely fine

mouse - being detected as 2 button mouse [huntin 4 3P drivers]

i suugest dat u id ur hw and visit der respective official sites 2 dl d drivers 4 OS and if u dont get it, remember 2K drivers shud run fine in absence of 2K3 specific drivers

NT4->2k Server->Win Server 2003

both 2K server and Win Server 2k3 r NT derivatives, so 2k drivers shud b more stable

ever heard of Win XP Server??

its my personal opinion :) better to use atleast a desktop PC (or if possible Server PC)for server OS

Sorry i dont mean anybody to check out the website and gimme download links. Rather i meant that i didnt find driver for windows 2k server on the oficial site , So i asked where from i can get the drivers. I am using a Notebook(Sorry i didn't mention it earlier). Ok but i have no other option, should i download the windows 2000 drivers and install them on windows 2k server OS. But i need to download the driver anyway and get the work done. I want to run a software called SAP i guess. So please gimme a solution.:(

obviously if u runnin Win 2k server it makes sense only 2 dl win 2k drivers, na

ur title said **Need Windows 2003 Server Drivers** so assumed u runnin Win Server 2K3

ne way if u indeed runnin win server 2k3 and find no win server 2k3-specific drivers, den u may safely install d Win 2k drivers, shud not face ne issues
