    This is for everyone who is searching for Win XP drivers for T400. I received my T400 yesterday. Got rid of bloat Vista today and did a clean Win XP install without any problems. These are all the files I used.

    Code:

    If you have ordered your T400 with Intel turbo memory, you need to disable AHCI in bios and enable Compatibility mode for SATA.
    Lenovo offers utility to disable turbo memory. You can only use if after your xp is installed. Once you install AHCI drivers you can reboot and change bios setting to SATA.

    Please install at your own risk, I am not responsible for any damage.

    :)

    ah yes. bluetooth. the one feature I got on my T61 that I never used. I left it out of my T400, along with the fingerprint reader. Just extra crap to install drivers for on my clean XP installs, that I'll never use anyways. Makes like a lot simpler.

    point of this is... unless you HAVE to have bluetooth, I'd just leave it uninstalled.

    Has anyone had any luck tracking down XP drivers for the UWB/Wireless USB for the T400?
