Presario 5660 upgrade to W2000?
How successful and where did you get the drivers.
Seems like a number of drivers for things like the firewire host controller and some other real basic things needed that I have not been able to find before I tried the upgrade. |

W2K not supported by Compaq on your 5660 (few Presarios are for W2K). That's
why no drivers from Compaq. XP a much better choice. I know of at least one user on this board (Tom Scales) who has a 5600 series running XP with no problems. HH "lwags" wrote in message ...

I upgraded my 5660 to Windows XP. Only problem was that I could not get USB
and Firewire to work. Mark "HH" wrote in message m... W2K not supported by Compaq on your 5660 (few Presarios are for W2K). That's why no drivers from Compaq. XP a much better choice.
