    I have recently installed windows xp pro on my dell 1520 and have come into several driver issues. About 10 or so however I found all but 2 I can’t seem to find a sata driver that will allow me to switch back to ACHI and I have a HD audio controller that I can’t seem to find. Is anyone else having any luck?

    By the way. If you’re having issues with anything other than what I just listed feel free to ask me as I most likely still have the driver you need. Including the wifi and the Bluetooth drivers for XP :)

    I've tried everything (I think) and I can't get my wireless card to work under XP. Anyone have issues with this too? I have the IntelJ3945 card.
