   I recently bought a mini 9 but it came with the Utobu software not XP. I have the install disk from my xp home desktop-can that be loaded on the mini? I really don’t want to give microsoft any more money. On that note I also got a new dell studio 17 that came with vista which I’m not thrilled with. Can I put xp on there instead? Thanks

   Yes, you can load XP on the Mini 9. You need an external hard drive to run the CD or copy the CD to a USB and boot from USB. The hardest part is finding all the correct drivers. I have a Mini that I loaded for a friend that the wireless driver is driving me nuts looking for.

   Isn’t that the wireless driver listed above? Download: Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Atheros Wireless Lan XP

   I want to buy my wife the same thing what has been anyones experince? Loading windows xp pro on the dell mini 9?

5. Mich on January 21st, 2009 at 2:08 pm

   Will the drivers be needed for xp home to pro upgrade?
   Also can I just copy all files from xp pro cd to usb pen to upgrade.

   I bought a Mini 9 4gb loaded with Ubuntu and I hate it.
   I also would like to know if I can load Windows on it,
   and if so, what version would be best.

   I love the mini 9! I have one with XP Pro, 2gigs ram, and its better then my m1530. I love the fast boot times, long battery life and it run the programs I use very well. The Card reader is perfect for pictures or a great way to had more hard drive space.

   im repairing this dell mini 9 and the wireless keeps dropping…im guessing it could be wrong driver if no packets are able to continuously be transmitted… any similar suggestions?? im testing all three drivers currently…hopefully atheros or the other one works!

   Hey Robert?? why do you hate ubuntu??? that is one of the best things that came with the mini9 release!!

10. John A Sykas on March 3rd, 2009 at 2:32 pm

    WOW Just downloaded all drivers, BIOS & chipset to USB drive, plugged it in to limping mini 9, extracted and POOF, everything works. MAGIC

    As a side. I really enjoyed Ubuntu, but need active X for my security, need Goldmine Contact Software, and Quickbooks multi user and other programs for my business that require me to stay with Windows. Ubuntu is more fun and user friendly, but I have a business that sucks me to Windows

12. John on March 10th, 2009 at 2:32 am

    Thanks for this great driver reference. I’m doing a dual boot with Ubuntu (personal) and XP (work) and it’s going great!

13. John Sly on March 10th, 2009 at 2:43 am

    [...] I then followed this guide on installing Windows after Linux has already been installed.  The guide was very useful to follow.  However during the the initial loading of the XP installation I was receiving a blue screen of death on error code 0×0000007b.  I did some research on this found a post that said try using a Windows XP Service Pack 2 installation disk.  Unfortunately, I only have a SP1 install disk so I then had to read this guide on creating a slipstream SP2 installation disk.  The XP install then completed successfully.  I then found all of the XP drivers here. [...]

14. Martin on March 17th, 2009 at 1:04 am

    Two questions if I may.
    First, the drivers listed above are for upgrading XP to XP Pro, but will they also be applicable for installing XP (SP2) in place of Linux, or are yet another set of drivers required?
    Second, where’s the rest of John Sly’s post which probably has all the answers I need?!

    Thanks guys.

    The wireless driver for XP is not hard to find. First install this:
    http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R197390&SystemID=INSPIRON910&servicetag=&os=WW1&osl=en&deviceid=18804&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=1&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=5&fileid=272925

    Then ‘update driver’ from the Device Manager and point to this folder. It doesn’t add the driver on install. I tried several drivers – this is the correct one and the correct way.
    BTW, Dell mini rocks, I had Ubuntu for about 24 hours before I decided on XP Pro. I needed Java and Java install and IE6 were quite complicated and didn’t work properly.

    I tried loading Win XP via flash disk after loading in onto the same from a CD Rom.It doesn’t work.I found a way of doing it with a flash disk but had many problems.Still have problems with stuff not loading as computer hangs.

17. Martin on April 4th, 2009 at 6:01 pm

    Sorry Ubuntu fans, but it just doesn’t work for me.
    I installed XP Home from a USB flash drive using Bart PE.
    There are several way to do it and you may have to try a few to find one that works for your flash drive/main computer/Dell Mini combination.
    All the XP drivers on the Dell site download without a hitch, with the exception of the one for the wireless card.

    ‘IT femail’ is absolutely correct on the wireless driver install. When the self installer for that driver runs it comes back with the message “No matching hardware found”.
    However, if you point to that driver location when updating the wireless card driver in Device Manager it installs perfectly.

    Now off for more memory and HD space!

    my mini 9 goes straight to password when booted. I put it passwd and SOMETIMES it logs on and sometimes not. I want to install windows instead of umbutu since I had had so much trouble. I have ordered an external hard drive to load on the cds. ProbleM: can’t get by this passwd thing….I hate this.. when it does let me log in, it will not let me change or download anything…this sucks… help if you can…please…ready to throw it in the tub.

    I purchased Mini 9 with XP, guess I’m the only one who decided to go from XP to Ubuntu for learning experiences, where can I get drivers for ubuntu for the mini 9?

32. Wayne Ware on January 30th, 2010 at 4:47 pm

    Working on a Mini 9 for a friend. She wants to change from Linux to Windows XP. Her system only has the 4Gb solid-state drive. Can Windows XP Pro be loaded onto this and if so, how much space can I expect to have left?
