My HP Pavilion dv9000 came preinstalled with Windows Vista. I replaced
it with Windows Server 2003. Now, the power options window does not
show a Power Meter tab and Windows does not know how much charge is
left in the battery.

Device Manager shows a battery on the system (Microsoft ACPI-Compliant
Control Method Battery).

I also ran "powercfg.exe /globalpowerflag on /option batteryicon".
Now, there is an icon on the taskbar indicating "On AC Power" all the
time; even when the charger is unplugged.

Any suggestion would be helpful.

TIA,
Dileep

Thanks for the response, Cari. I installed all relevant drivers from
that site, but no luck. The HP Battery Check utility will not install
on Server 2003 ("Not supported on this operating system")
