Just download and run the program. It will give you a report that you can print out. Works great and easy and FREE

1. u need to make your SATA drivers on WinXP cd - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/resolving-setup-did-not-find-any-hard-disk-drives-during-windows-xp-installation/
2. just fallow those steps and download the drivers - http://www.khanh.net/blog/archives/27-Installing-Windows-XP-on-a-Dell-Inspiron-1525-downgrading-from-Windows-Vista.html
http://www.notebooks-drivers.com/dell-laptop/how-to-install-windows-xp-on-dell-inspiron-1525-or-downgrading-vista.html
3. last thing u should do is to see not available drivers on that 2 links above . Those drivers , u need to download them from Dell and choose your model notebook (NO MATTER) that they are for Vista ... For exp . scrolling on pad works with Vista drivers ON Xp , webcam too.
Hope u do it , its not hard , just a lot of reading and stuff
Email me if u have questions ."
