[Good Spliff]

Hey NBR community. I am scheduled to undergo a fresh install of Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit on Tuesday evening 04/28/09. I am a little worried I might screw up some drivers by picking the wrong ones or losing some. Could you guys please provide me with all the needed drivers (I would be extremely grateful if links were provided) I will need during my computer's re-installation process? Also, I have no idea what the AHCI driver is/or where it is located...

For Intel components, you can use the drivers from the Intel Download Center website. Specifically, you will want these for your XPS 1640:

Version: 9.1.0.1012

Note: Even though Intel's website denotes that the desktop series motherboard chipsets are only supported, mobile generation chipsets are also compatible.

Hopefully I put down every driver you need to get all the components working. Since I'm not a Dell user, I have no way of knowing that these are all the drivers, but I'm pretty confident that it's everything you need based on your specs.

Justin, I really appreciate your effort to help me; however, the majority of the links you provided (all the non-support.dell.com ones) link to errors. Could you please provide me with the links directly from dell? Thanks a bunch man.

Oh, sorry about that. See, the driver links were truncated when I copied and pasted them from my driver thread over at the HP forum. I'll update my reply above, and I also posted them below for reference.

Again, my apologies about the dead links.

Edit: I posted the official Dell links in the next post.

Here are the official Dell links to those drivers that I posted with the (previously) dead links. However, note that the Dell versions are a little older.

Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility
Version: 8.7.0.1007, A00

For some reason, it doesn't seem like Dell posted the individual Intel SATA AHCI driver (Matrix Storage Manager) for your product. You can use the Intel link above to install the SATA AHCI driver.

As stated above, type in your service tag or your model and pick the correct operating system, 32 or 64 bit.

Hi,

I'm trying to retrofit XP on the XPS1640 and am stalled by lack of drivers. The graphics display is a bit limited at 1024 X 768 and the LAN/Wifi ports are unavailable. (and a number of other less important stuff).

Software loads okay and it would probably run quicker if I could get the SATA driver in instead of emulation.

I've tried the ones listed earlier in the discussion with litle success.

Any ideas where I can find the XP drivers, in particular the Graphics?

Thanks in advance.
