Format VISTA HD
Trying to format a HD that had Vista on it to put XP on it.
Anyone know the crack with the RAID/SATA drivers to get XP back on the HD.

When I run my XP disc, it will recognise my stick, but not the HD of the computer.

Before I do that, I went into BIOS and changed the SATA stuff to ATA instead of ATAI (I think) and when I re-started with my XP disc, it recognised
the HD of the computer and will enable me to install XP.
Shall I go for it?

Nice program that, but I already have a nicely tweaked version of XP, but that may come in handy later!
Might not of finished with your assistance yet!

Yep - but all sorted now thanks.
Dell's site is actually really good for all the drivers - believe it or not.
