Windows 2000 on Dell Latitude E6400

[Jakob99]

Does anyone know if it's possible to install Windows 2000 to a Dell Latitude E6400? It appears this laptop is from 2010 and supports XP, Vista, and 7. It also has a 64 bit processor. I've tried to install it, but get a BSOD, even with F7 method. Any help is greatly appreciated!

What's the error code? You'll probably need to slipstream a SATA driver. Try one of these: http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/813816.html

I believe it is Inaccessible Boot Device or something similar. I'll integrate this into the 2000 disc and see if it works. If it still produces that BSOD, I'll share exactly what it says.

Alright. I rid of the BSOD using the driver you linked to within your reply. 2000 is currently formatting the drive. Will report back later when done.

EDIT: I got it successfully installed and booted to the desktop. That driver did the trick! Thanks for your help!

Quit wasting your time, the audio is incompatible with or without exkernel

If USB works then you can go the USB audio route instead.
