To install the chipset driver (Intel 830 series)
If you have installed retail Windows you need to install the Intel chipset driver. The
driver is contained in the \HP\DRIVERS\830M subdirectory on the Recovery CD. This
will install support for IDE controllers, USB controllers, and several system devices.
To install or upgrade the Intel chipset driver:
1. Run SETUP.EXE from the driver directory on your Recovery CD
(\HP\DRIVERS\830M).
2. Follow the onscreen directions to complete installation.
3. Upon successful completion you will be asked to reboot your computer, choose “Yes,
I want to restart my computer now” (even if you have other drivers to install at this
time), then click Finish.
