    Hi
    I need help dual booting Vista and XP on XPS 1530.
    If only someone could point to drivers for XP on 1530 and how to go around the problem if the windows XP SP2 disc that you have does not have SATA drivers ?
    I have heard of stripstream or whatever you call it where you can basically add hotfixes to the windows XP cd and burn it.

    Where can I get the SATA Drivers for that ?
    Thanks

    i dont know, i think you can however set xp up using the ATA setup in the bios then instal ther drivers later, and i think there is a way to get vista to boot from the power button and xp to bot from the media direct button
