E6520 mass storage driver

I've created a new XP image with the 10.1.0.1008 drivers sysprepped in but continue to get a 7B BSOD in AHCI mode. This image works fine on all other Dell Latitudes (including E6420s). Just occurs on a new batch of E6520s.

Anyone have this issue? Please let me know, much appreciated.

The only difference that I'm aware of between the early and later batch of 6520s is the AF drive. I use MDT 2010 with WinPE 3.1 and have confirmed the driver are being partitioned and aligned properly.

I understand Microsoft doesn't support XP on AF drives. I guess my question is am I wasting my time trying to get our XP image to work?

Most folks don't have a choice as they are stuck on XP for one reason or another.

Warren, as you suggested I've just installed a non-AF drive in the 6520 and pulled our XP image down. It worked perfectly. This confirms that the issue is related to the AF drive.

PLEASE escalate to the HD Engineering team. Again we expect many Latitudes with AF drives in the coming month and these require XP. I have also seen several users in other forums with this exact issue. Please let me know if I need open a ticket with Gold Tech Support, I've already notified our TAM.
