Vista - Re: Unable to install Vista

What model Dell is it? What install is looking for is not drivers for the
Hitachi hard drive itself, but for the controller on the motherboard. (SCSI
and RAID).

nVidia storage controller for the SATA hard drives I believe the XPS has.
However, I can't determine exactly which nVidia controller it is.

<- you need to add that last character.

Dell has Vista drivers for the XPS 600 on their website. Installing Vista
in the first place is the hard part - the SATA controller drivers need to be
on a floppy, cd, or USB drive during install (Load Drivers button).
