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.

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!

Regards

Fernando
