Thanks for reply to all,

I got it, but now I also need driver for compaq presario c700.

I have gone through HP site here is the driver link for C700
Select software and drivers for C700

But there is not graphics, audio, bluetooth drivers for C700.
Only SATA, quicklaunch and others.
Can you help me to get graphics, audio, bluetooth, PCI drivers for Compaq Presario C700.

Thanks.

Are you running XP? That is the link above

The link for Vista has these drivers
Select software and drivers

If they don't work for you, check Device mgr for the names of the devices that are not recognized or have yellow marks next to them and post the exact name of device that has errors in device mgr

I am using XP and see my last post what difficulty I am facing.
I have formatted laptop with XP but drivers for XP not available for C700.

Did the computer come with XP? Or did it come with Vista installed?

Looking around the site, nearly everything I see for that computer is Vista stuff, so I'm guessing that's what it came with. It also appears that the missing drivers are not available at HP.

So then you start googling to see what you can find. Sometimes you can find other people who have solved the problem. Just be aware that sometimes those solutions aren't so good.

I did find this on the HP forums:
IT Resource Center forums - Drivers for XP Presario C700
There's a lot of links there, including links to other forum posts. So yes you might have to do some sifting. But if drivers aren't available easily at HP, then sifting is sometimes just what you have to do.

If you need to look further, I just googled "compaq presario c700 drivers xp" - there's hits there for other forum posts.

If the PC came with vista and you installed xp on it, there may not be xp drivers avail as HP probably only made vista drivers for it as it was shipped with vista

If this is the case, download the Vista drivers and see if you can get them installed and working as HP did not 'make' drivers that were backwards compatible but these are the drivers that the hardware needs.

You should be able to get some of the drivers to work in xp but no guarantee all of them, just have to try and as mentioned above, post the drivers that you cannot get to work and can look for some that might help.. but try the vista drivers first and then go from there

I do not recommend downgrading a Vista machine to XP. Especially with newer models. The newer the model, the likelihood that there is Vista only hardware in the machine.

If you did not blow out the Recovery partition or if you made a Recovery disk, I suggest you use it to return the machine to factory settings.
