Download the manufacturer drivers for your model. If they have Windows 7 native drivers, download those, if not, use the Vista drivers. The important ones to download include Network, Video (Display drivers), chipset drivers.

Forget to mention last month i had the problem in power cable in my laptop so i have removed it But my quickplay button 'power cable' were working fine so i had replaced this cable with laptop power cable. At present i dont have power cable for my quick play buttons. i will buy power cable for quick play button later because it is very difficult to get in India for hp notebook and little bit expensive.

If you power adapter is not working, you won't be able to do the install on battery power. Windows 7 will refuse to continue setup.

In nvidia website it is mention something similar to this... if you have OEM system then please update from your manufacturer's website and use the software provided by your system manufacturer.
q15] Will there will be potential installation incompatibilities on the OEM system?
Follow nVidias advice and download the drivers from HP. As long as you get them HP, there should be no incompatibilities.
Because if i revert back my system to vista (due to some reasons faced problems in windows 7) with HP vista recovery disk then will my recovery manager will work?
It will be like the way it was before, no harm done.
q16] Will be system will work and recovery manager stored in HDD will be corrupted because of this? and it will violate the warranty or HP licence? Warranty is not the issue because it has passed away.
Once it is running Windows 7, it is no longer running HP provided copy of Vista (which means it will be out of warranty). In fact, if its runnning Vista, it is likely already out of warranty.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even for the BIOS it has mentioned in HP that Only install BIOS updates from HP. Do not install BIOS updates from the motherboard manufacturer's Web site. Doing so might prevent the computer from accepting an HP System Recovery.
q17] Do i need to update any BIOS after installing windows 7?
Sometimes it is recommended you do this before upgrading to Windows 7 to guarantee a smooth install. I recommend you update if one is available.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to find latest drivers for windows 7 32-bit for my model i.e HP Pavilion dv6330ea Notebook PC?
Download these from the manufacturers website:
Manufacturer drivers:
q18] do you know any website for windows 7 32-bit drivers which are genuine and free from spyware, adware, virus, etc?
Use whats available from the manufacturer, you are unable to find drivers elsewhere, if there are no native 32 bit Windows 7 drivers, use the available 32 bit drivers, Vista and Windows 7 share the same driver model.
q19] do you any software free full version which will scan the system and will inform all the outdated version of drivers and software installed in the system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
q20] i have hp vista recovery disk, if incase any problem occur after installing windows 7 then can i revert back to vista?
Yes
q21] if i revert back and install vista then will my recovery manager will work?
The recovery partition might become inoperable. Thats why I recommend you backup the entire system using Easeus To Do Backup.
I am not going to delete recovery manager from the hdd, but i will do clean install of windows 7, if incase i might need if i want to revert back. So what is your opinion on this,
q22] shall i delete the recovery manager also or keep it?
Keep it, but there is a possibility it might become inoperable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
please reply as soon as possible if you can, so that i can proceed with installation and update tonight.
Goodluck.
