After doing some research on AHCI, I read that the setting in the BIOS had to be AHCI or else the netbook will not wake up from Standby. The AHCI drivers are on the Dell website, but installation of the drivers however, were not so straightforward like the others. See this website on how to install the AHCI drivers after a Windows XP installation: My Tech Blog: Enabling SATA Native Mode after XP Install Once you have the driver installed correctly, restart the comp and change the SATA settings in the BIOS to AHCI. You shouldn't get the BSOD now upon startup. Once Windows XP confirms installation of the device, you should be all set. The 1012 finally wakes up from Standby again!! Hope this can be of use to people. |

Hi there, Sorry to bother you all with this but it's a verry frustrating issue for me. My 2 month old 1012 mini came with windows 7 and IE8. I had a friend load xp professional and IE 7 for me since it is required for some work related web sites that don't work with IE8. All is well except for the problem you experienced after you xp install. My friend says "just set it to "always on" and don't worry about it" I'm a car guy and that's kinda like saying "Just leave it idling when your not driving -It'll be OK". I'm fairly computer savvy but your repair for what I think may be the some problem looks a little complex for me. Would you have time to give me little more detailed walk thru of the repair as I am not familiar with some of the terms referred to in the repair. Thanks for taking the time to reply. If you want to call instead of email my number is 813-503-4375. Thanks again, Ed O |
