    Trying to load XP on my X205-9800.
    I used the drivers posted here:

    http://www.davidfarmerstuff.com/XP-Laptop-Drivers/drivers.zip

    (These are specifically told to work on the SLi1)

    I get the disc driver to load, but when I come to the first actual bootup of XP from the HD, I get a BSOD.

    I thought the controllers were the same??

    Has anyone done this with a 9800 specifically, or do they know what might be happening with the SATA drivers provided?

    I would not have bought the thing if I thought XP would be an issue for it.
