Default Trying to install an HP scanner/fax machine


My mom has XP on her laptop. She is trying to install an HP Scanner/fax,
but it is asking her to insert the XP Installation CD.

I guess when her XP was installed, it was not fully installed (the
Scanning/Fax module perhaps were not installed?).

Anyone know where i could download these from?

thank you

Might not be necessary to download the files or to borrow a
corresponding Windows XP cdrom. There should be a folder named
"i386" in Drive C. If present, it contains all of the pertinent
Windows files. Indicate this folder when asked for the Windows
XP installation CD or location of the XP installation files.

Are you sure it is looking for the XP install CD or the "scanner /
fax" install CD?

You should install the HP software before the hardware. Go to the HP site
for the latest software and drivers
