Vista has a 15gb minimum disk space requirement and reccomends 1gb of RAM. Does your Mini 9 meet those minimum system requirements? Mine doesn't. XP Home Edition might run with 8gb of disk space and 512mb of RAM.
Here's a suggestion. Why not try switching to the Mist Theme under System/Appearance. At least it has a blue color and looks more similar to Windows 98. Either that, or try switching to the KDE desktop environment in the Synaptic Package Manager. KDE is more Windows Like. I agree that the ugly brown/orange default Ubuntu GNOME desktop environment is kind of dull.

wandi,
Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
You would need an external cd/dvd drive as well as a Windows XP disc. The drivers are available for WinXP for this system on our website below.
