    Hello Everyone,

    I was given an old Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop and I want to install XP Pro 64-Bit on it just to relive the nostalgia. I keep getting the bsod death in the setup screen. I tried using a USB Flash drive and burning it to a DVD, but so far nothing works. Dell gives XP Drivers for this machine on the support page so It should be able to run XP. Any Ideas as to how I can get XP on this system?
