I bought a new Dell 1721 that had Vista and hated it right from the start !!! i loaded windows XP and found ALL the drivers and made a disk with them ....

to install XP you need to Fdisk the os partition on your hard drive and then install XP....

anyone needing some drivers should email me dont know if i have the need to keep visiting this forum

Did you find the Bluetooth driver? If so could you email me the link? I also have a webcam built in and now it will only take pictures and not video? Can you help me with that?
Thanks!!!

I've searched really long and really hard to find a soluation to this problem. The good news is THERE ARE REAL, WORKING drivers for the AHCI SATA RAID controller in the Inspiron 1721. And here they are, from IBM:

It includes the Textmode driver which you can streamline with nLite into an XP install disc. Everything works perfectly

There is now a torrent available with all the Inspiron 1721 drivers and support for the SATA RAID controller built in, as well as support for USB HDD install/boot so that you can do data recovery on a broken system.
