    I'm thinking about purchasing an XPS M1530, but I'm not crazy about having to run Vista. I've read in forms about replacing Vista with XP Pro. All you need is a copy of XP Pro and the necessary drivers. Is there an easy place to get the necessary drivers or has some posted all the drivers in one place.

    Thanks,

    Usually, dell will send a reinstallation CD with XP Pro and the XP drivers. Just call them if they don't
