Downgrading a 1340 to XP Pro

Anyone been able to downgrade.  I get an error message and someone was saying  I need a intel driver mgmt to get by the error to install XP pro due to SATA drives and XP Pro.  Also any successes finding drivers for 32 or 64bit XP pro for 1340's.  Thanks.

    Did you find the XP drivers?  I'm about ready to trash this 1340 and ship it back to dell if I can't find the last couple of drivers I need for XP.

    Wondering how you fared with this.   I'm trying to turn my 1340 into a dual boot, with Vista and XP.  

    Vista requires the hard drive to be set to AHCI in the BIOS.  XP requires it to be set to ATA in the BIOS.  I'm thinking I just need the XP driver for the chipset or motherboard?  Any suggestions on where to find this?

    Many thanks in advance!
