Install Windows Xp In Dell Inspiron N5010

Hello everybody; Below I tried to illustrate all the necessary actions that are needed to be taken to install XP on a N5010 laptop. I hope this helps: 1- Installation of XP itself: You need an AHCI slipstreamed XP CD to install. You can also change the SATA Mode in the BIOS to ATA to use a CD without AHCI drivers but not recommended becasue it takes you two hours to install and once installed, the performance is like 486! I dont waste time to explain how to slipstream AHCI drivers to XP CDROM because it has been already explained in many posts.

I hope the above can help all of the XP lovers to install their favorite OS on their N5010 laptops. I really enjoyed the smoothness and performance of XP on Quad Core processors despite all the negative things somebody say about XP on new laptop models. I just recently got a N5010 without an OS since my softwares wont work in Win7 thinking of installing XP, but found out the problems therein. Just was hunting the web trying to find a solution and the drivers for xp and landed on this page. When i went to download the drivers, i found some of the links leading to the intel site dont work anymore.

Greatly appreciate your effort in giving us a solution for the said problem, but would appreciate even more if you could please update those links. Thanks in advance, and thanks for all the detailed instructions. Hello Miha; The file you mentioned is located in the following directory: cx420_avga_8.723.0.0000_7x32 8.723-100406a-098838E-MSI-nonSG Packages Drivers Display XP_INF B_98282 If you can see it by browsing, it may have been corrupted, so try to download and extract the driver again. If you can't, then you might have extracted the driver incompletely. Use an extraxtor like winzip to extract it becasue sometimes when you extract by copy and paste method, some files are missing. I hope this helps.

What about the rest of the drivers? Are you ok with them? Hello all; Sorry for my delayed reply as I was attending an exhibition for a few days. Krinolin, below you can find a very detailed step by step guide about making an XP CD with AHCI drivers: I hope it helps. I still couldnt find any specific drivers for the webcam, although my own 5010 doesnt need it at all and is working properly with the standard driver of XP.

For the bluetooth I used below link and it worked for me: Give it a try and send me feedback. Please DO NOT disable SATA in BIOS for installing XP because it gives you awful performance, like a 486 PC. You have better follow the instructions in the link I offered to slipstream AHCI drivers. You will see the difference and get surprized. After that, please try to install drivers again, may I know your graphics chipset?

Intel or ATI?
