    Hello
    I`ve bought a XPS m1330 laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium.
    Because of my need, I installed Windows Xp Media Center on my notebook. But know, I can`t find some drivers in Dell oficial website and support in ( http://support.dell.com) for Windows Xp!.
    please help me! where i can find "Windows Xp" drivers for nVidia 8400 Graphic Card and Sigmatel Audio Card? It is very vital for me..... :(

    I recently heard that Dell, Hp, and others are offering "XP roll-back" CDs for Vista machines. This is supposed to have come from C-net website. It is worth checking into. Good luck.

    Well, don't quote me on this one, but I'd think that the roll back disks are just the OS and not the drivers as well. Though I guess it does imply that they'd have to make drivers for XP in the end...

    Go to dell's website and download XP drivers for their Latitude D630. For the 8400GS, go to laptopvideo2go.

    I've used both the drivers AND the Windows XP CD from my D630 to install my dual boot M1330.

    Bear in mind Dell wants to you to install the Notebook system software, then Intel Chipset then the rest in order to get everything working.

    If you cant see some devices, check your Device settings, and delete whatever items that has conflicts and have windows re-detect them. The USB drivers are known to cause conflicts on first install.
