    What is the hardware config of your N5010? I just collected a full set of XP drivers for my N4010 maybe you can use. To avoid BSOD upon XP install you have to splitstream Intel HM57 AHCI / Chip set driver into the XPSP3 install CD before you can install OS into today's SATA drive because XP doesn't have native support for SATA AHCI mode.

    Most of them are collected from Dell but they are for other modules with the same hardware and provide XP version, some of them are collected directly from their manufactures, there is no single location to get them all.

    Please let me know which one doesn't install (can show a screen capture of the Device Manager) because most of them should be fine except for the display card it doesn't install automatically, you have to use the "Have Disk" option in the driver update and "force" Windows to install the driver. Another possibility is that N5010 has different hardware which is not in the N4010.

    hey,

    If u r nt able to fnd drivers online.

    u shd use sme driver updater app.s like Driver detective or Driver Robot or Advanced Driver Optimizer or mny othr app.s thy will show u the best possible updt based on your OS.

    after trying 2-3 updating app.s I trust Advanced Driver Optimizer as the app. automatically downloads n instls the update, i just need to click an update btn.

    To be safe i can even rollback the update using dere restore facility.
    u can download it from
    ( Advanced Driver Optimizer)

    XP works with AHCI but you need splitstream the AHCI drivers into the XP installation CD to install the OS from scratch. Most of the people use nLite to splitstream their drivers and create the final installation CD.

    For those of you looking for XP Drivers for N5010 most of my collected XP drivers for N4010 should works and can be downloaded HERE
