I managed to install xp pro onto my new laptop. I had to
get onbe of those cut down versions in the end. There are
just two minor probs and if anyone can help i'd be well
appreciative.

1. The laptop battery metre no longer exists. is there a way
to manual install this?

2.I need drivers for my IEEE 1394 port (my firewire port)

There are two unknown devices showing in device manager i am
not sure what they might be and for some reason my comp is
lappy is showing 3 plug n play displays. other than that it
is a neat trimmed down version of xp :D

battery meter

start->control panel->power options

advanced tab

check 'always show icon in taskbar'.

As for firewire drivers, XP is supposed to have standard
support for firewire and you shouldn't have to. Theres a
chance that who ever compiled this version of XP left them
out for some reason.

install all the drivers and software from dell.com for your
model.
