Vista to Windows XP Drivers for Dell XPS M1530 Laptop

Dell XPS M1530
Driver Installation Package
Windows XP (SP2 recommended)

Instructions

——————————–
1. AHCI SATA support (IMPORTANT!)

Installation technique:

First step is to turn off SATA AHCI mode in BIOS (you’ll switch it from AHCI to ATA). Search through BIOS until you find it. It will advise that you have to disable “Flash Cache” first, do this, and then set SATA mode to ATA instead of AHCI. Then, save your settings, reboot and install XP as usual. Once XP is installed, install the AHCI driver yourself via the file in the folder /AHCI. After this has been done successfully, you can go back into the BIOS and re-enable SATA AHCI mode and Flash Cache.

Instruction:

Please install the driver in sequence below. Most drivers will require installation through Windows Device Manager’s “Have Disk” method (indicate it to the INF in the appropriate driver’s folder).
1. Chipset (1.1.15.0) compulsory
2. Audio (5.10.5210.0) compulsory
3. Video (174.31, DELL) compulsory
4. Card Reader (6.00.01.05) 3 separate drivers compulsory
5. Ethernet (10.60.6.3) compulsory
6. Touchpad (7.1.102.7, DELL) compulsory
7. Fingerprint Reader (1.9.2.0111) compulsory
8. Wireless (11.5.1.15) compulsory
9. Bluetooth (6.1.0.300, 5.0.1.2609, DELL) optional
10. Webcam (2.0, DELL) optional
11. Quickset (8.3.11, DELL) optional
12. Winamp Plugin (1.0) optional

If you install all the mandatory drivers that will left you with no “unknown devices” in Device Manager. Note that for the winamp plugin, you can place it in your /Winamp/Plugins folder to allow the M1530’s media controls (as well as the remote control) to work in Winamp. Also note that quickset isn’t necessary for the special keyboard and media control functions to work (eg. brightness/volume controls), all it does is provide the on-screen display. I didn’t install it.

Quick Install:

1. Start
2. Run and type “location of file” -s
so in my case it is c:\1530drivers\Quickset\setup.exe -s

    I noticed you say SP2 recommended. Would I be safe to say this’ll work with SP3 just as well?

    Thanks in advance.

    Sri: I also got the same error message as you on my Dell XPS M1530. I have not found a solution to the problem either but I will spend the day with the problem and hopefully I can come up with a solution.

    When it comes to our 4GB of ram which, in XP, is only found to be 3,5GB I have heard something about that XP cannot address 4GB so unfortunately I think we will be stuck with that problem.

    People with the 3.5 GB recognized instead of 4 GB should look into getting WinXP 64. 32 OS can only recognize 3.5 GB max of ram. If you want your extra .5 GB, you need a 64 OS.
