Check to make sure the device is installed. Go to your device manager by doing the following:

start | run
devmgmt.msc

Under Imaging Devices, check to make sure you have the entry:

HP pavilion webcam


This is the first test to make sure the device is actually present in your DV6000

Try these Drivers

The DV6000 series units come with SATA Hard Drives and are apted to go south now and then.!
Before replacing the HD I would clear the CMOS and check HD thru BIOS utility.
This utility will in most cases take about 1hr. if you have a standard size HD. Longer if larger, anyway, it will tell you before you start and if the dive fails, you will know soon enough. This sounds like a boot partition problem in your HD but you have 2, 1 in the front and 1 at the end, that may just be corrupt.
If you have not formated drive since you have purchased the unit, you may still be able to re-install from the restoration partition.
If not you will have to replace hard drive and install from restoration disks. HP offers these disks for the 6000 series units for about $15.00 US
You will have to update your BIOS if you have not done so already. You can check to verison by hitting F10 at first screen.
P.S. SATA drives are cheep enough about $60-85 depending upon size.
Take care Good Luck

Go to the HP Support site. There, find drivers for your model. Choose the OS. Did you install XP? Choose and then download all the drivers you need. I find this really helpful myself.

Or go to the device manufacturer's website and search for the drivers there.

if you have problems make sure you have the correct model. this is for hp dv6000 but you should check in the bottom of your laptop near the windows registration label

please rate this solution

Hi , Did you install the Wireless drivers if not download from the HP site and do the same.

What is the exact model. This system is under recall for amd but you have to be within a 2 year period from the time you purchaced the machine. You can contact hp and see if you qualify.
Please do not forget to rate me :)

Were you offered any chance to back up settings and files?
Upgrading Win is normally pretty safe with more than one opportunity to save the previous version & setup and/or a restore opportunity.
I doubt your files have been overwritten; they are probably still present unless you were offered and opted for, a reformat of your HD.
There is probably a D: partition on your drive; it may be hidden, but gain access to it to see if you have a recent folder that refers to the previous installation.

if you need drivers then download it form the hp website
