Albus Dumbledore Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hello friends..My friend has DELL INSPIRON 1545 laptopThe config is: 2GHz Intel Core 2Duo 4 GB Ram320 GB HDD SATAATI Mobility Radeon Graphics Card I tried to install Windows XP in it. The two SATA modes it had are ATA and AHCI.Initially in the agreement, when pressed F8 it din't go to next page. I tried 2 more discs of XP. Finally went for a slipstreamed version. The agreement was skipped as it was a slip streamed. But no disk drive could be found error is shown. Lateron when tried again it went to format process and got installed.But few errors exist. I want to install XP properly in it. I was unable to load the SATA driver using my USB drive. It asks only for a floppy disk. Help me out. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa1916 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 What OS did it run in the first place was is it a 64bit version as your showing 4GB of RAM a 32bit version will only see 3gb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as the laptop price increased by 3500 we chose to drop vista and install xp by ourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
