Sata Driver Inspiron N5010 to install windows XP
Hi, I have a Inspiron N5010 notebook with win7HB64 , this notebook have online support only for 64 bit OS Vista & 7. There is no support for any 32 bit OS. Now i want to install and run XP (32 bit ) on my notebook & on my external HDD (i have successfully done it on my old desktop with asus motherboard). I Know its not straight forward, i searched net a lot and found some solutions for other notebooks, Installing on External HDD is much important for me. i'm ready for complex task, Can anybody help me out...would be most appreciated .
Things i know : would need SATA drivers for my notebook, would need to make a special arrangement for USB drivers too & it is possible.
Things i do not know : where is my Notebooks SATA driver for XP installation, stepwise procedure for both ( sata drivers & USB integration into special Disk)

For 32 bit XP you can download STOR_all32_f6flpy_9.6.0.1014_PV.zip from here, http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=15251&ProdId=3018&lang=eng
Unzip the file and put all the files on to a floppy disc. You'll need to use it during the xp install when asked to press F6 to install scsi/raid drivers. Make sure your bios is set to ahci mode.
Good luck on trying to find all your hardware drivers.

One popular site to learn slipstreaming is here: www.nliteos.com.
With regard to booting Windows from a USB device, I have seen a site or two that gave a procedure, but it is not guaranteed to work. Microsoft does not support the process of booting Windows from a USB device so far as I know.
