Dear Board members,

Please help me.

1 year back i bought Dell Inspiron 1545.

It was originally shipped with Vista Home premium iwth Windows 7 Home premium upgrade.

After some time i received Win 7 upgrade DVD now i am using Win 7 on my Laptop.

My situation is i am basically using for Some broadcasting purposes

i got a new tie up with one software company and their software wont support Win7 or Vista.

Works only with Win XP.

I am having my XP SP3 CD original.

Now i wanted to degrade my Laptop to XP. Which i was unable to do.

I am having AHCI and ATA only in my BIOS.

I tried changing the both. But no use.

Getting error Ox0000007B Blue screen in the middle on XP installation.

I wrote the DVDs with

32bit nForce LEGACY drivers v6.99 built by Fernando -- for nForce 430/410 (MCP51), nForce 590/570/550 (MCP55) and nForce 430/405/400 (MCP61) SataRAID systems:

32bit nForce IDE drivers v9.99.09 mod by Fernando -- for all other nForce SataRAID systems:

32bit nForce SATARAID drivers v11.1.0.33 mod by Fernando.

by using nLite.

but getting same error 0X0000007B.

If needed i will degrade my system to Vista and then i will again degrade to XP.

Please help me.

According to the official website http://support.euro....anConsent=False , your notebook uses Intel, not nVidia AHCI.

BTW, welcome to the forums.

That is no surprise, because you tried to run an Intel SATA AHCI system with NVIDIA nForce SataRAID drivers.

All these 3 drivers you have mentioned are only suitable with nForce RAID systems! Your system neither does support RAID nor has NVIDIA SATA Controllers.

According to the official website http://support.euro....anConsent=False , your notebook uses Intel, not nVidia AHCI.

Exactly, that is the truth.

@ chowdary2005:

This is what you should do:

1. Set the SATA Controllers to "AHCI" within the BIOS.

2. Create a bootable XP CD with integrated Intel AHCI driver according to >this< guide.

3. Install Windows XP.

4. Have fun!
