Windows XP on Dell Inspiron N4050 laptop
I have installed windows XP SP2 on my Dell Inspiron N4050 laptop.
But I dont have system drivers. Can somebody please help me resolving this issue?
Dell website has drivers for Windows 7 but not windows xp.
Thanks,
JeeDee

If you need to run XP, upgrade to a version of Windows 7 that supports XP mode (Pro, Enterprise or Ultimate). Then install XP mode (free from Microsoft).
Otherwise, be prepared for a frustrating search for drivers that will likely end up with a system that's only partially functional.

Thanks for the information. Will this have 2 separate windows installations (windows 7 and then windows XP)?
Anyway I will try out your suggestion.

Not as such - XP Mode runs in a virtual window under Windows 7 Pro, Ultimate or Enterprise.
