Every Dell Inspiron 1525 laptops that we get in the market comes with Windows Vista alone and few people find it difficult working around with Vista and they need Windows Xp to be installed desperately as i was. The main problem in migrating from a Vista to a Xp in Dell is that the XP cd that we have wont have the driver for the SATA hard disk.
There are 2 solutions to this.(Will tell you the hard one first).anyways before deciding to migrate to Windows Xp, better have a backup of all you r data and also download all the necessary drivers for Windows Xp from Dell’s support page
1.While downloading all the necessary drivers, dont forget to get the SATA driver for the hard disk,embed the SATA driver alone with a bootable XP disc and then burn it. You can use nLite to embed a data to the Bootable disc s data and then make a bootable disc.
I know this would confuse everyone.So let’s go with an easy one
2.People thos can play around with the BIOS can do this, press F2 while booting which takes you to the BIOS screen and you can find an option SATA in the menu.Change the SATA mode to ATA(previously it will be AHCI).Save the settings and ther you go . You can use an ordinary bootable Windows XP cd for installing XP in your machine
After installing Windows, Install all the drivers and keep in mind to install the bluetooth driver atlast.Some machines might not accept the bluetooth driver if installed first or in-between.
Please get back if you have any queries.
