After no small amount of external pressure, Dell has finally managed to do some major damage on the Adamo’s number one drawback: the price. The starting mark for the 1.2GHz machine has been slashed from $1,999 to $1,499, while the high-end model with SSD and a 1.4GHz processor is down to $2,299. Still not in the same general galaxy as most consumer-aimed Dell products, but quite a lot closer to the realm of possibility.

There are 2 solutions to this.(Will tell you the hard one first).anyways before deciding to migrate to Windows XP, better have a backup of all your data and also download all the necessary drivers for Windows XP from Dell’s support page

• While downloading all the necessary drivers, dont forget to get the SATA driver for the hard disk, embed the SATA driver alone with a bootable XP disc and then burn it. You can use nLite to embed a data to the Bootable disc s data and then make a bootable disc.

I know this would confuse everyone.So let’s go with an easy one

• People though can play around with the BIOS can do this, press F2 while booting which takes you yo the BIOS screen and you can find an option SATA in the menu.Change the SATA mode to ATA(previously it will be AHCI).Save the settings and there you go .
• You can use an ordinary bootable Windows XP cd for installing XP in your machine
• After installing Windows, install all the drivers and keep in mind to install the blue tooth driver at last.
• Some machines might not accept the blue tooth driver if installed first or in-between.
