to Fernando 1 No, I am not even sure, that any of the related NVIDIA SATARAID drivers will work with your system.If you want help, you should give us the following informations: 1. Are you sure, that you really need to load/integrate a separate textmode driver? Windows XP SP3 can easily be installed without loading/integrating any third party driver, unless the SATA Controller has been set to "AHCI" or "RAID". Advice: Check your BIOS settings. Alternatively you may try to boot off the original XP CD. If your hdd/SSD will be detected, you don't need to load/integrate any driver. 2. Why do you think, that you need to load/integrate a NVIDIA textmode driver? Notice: According to my knowledge the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 has an Intel 945GSE chipset. Intel chipset RAID or AHCI systems usually need an Intel RAID/AHCI driver. 3. Who is the vendor and which is the chipset of the SATA Controller, where the hdd/SSD of your Dell Mini 9 is connected? Advice: If you can still boot into your old XP: Which Controllers are listed within the "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" and - if present - the "SCSI and RAID Controllers" sections of your XP Device Manager? Just post us the names of the listed Controllers 1. No, I´m not sure at all. I haven´t changed any settings. Where could I change the SATA controller from?. I´ve searching through the BIOS and never got to see that option. 2.- My only reason was some reading that I did through Forums. People related the "nvrd32.sys. file is missing" to not hsving the right drivers. Yes, the chipset is Intel 945 GM, and ". 3.-if I copied it right "Vendor 8086 Product 27A6". How can I find the info about the "SATA Controller, where the hdd/SSD of your Dell Mini 9 is connected". Yes, I can still boot into the old XP. I don´t know where to find the info about controllers you asked me about, Is it under Control Panel?. By the way I informed Dell Support Department about my plight, and they offered to come and pick up thee Mini 9. They asked me to carry out some Diagnostics, which showed no problems. They said it might have something to do with the OS CD not being good, and they would reinstall it themselves and provide me with another CD. The Mini is still under guarantee fortunately. to johnhc: I have pasted the Last Session.ini Thank you both very much Last_Session__2009.11.09_21.04.14_.ini
