ar51m downgrade to XP - need help

coldzero — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 10:09:47 GMT

hey its been a while since i've tried this forum again.

when i got my ar51m it was on release date. i tried to put XP on straight away as im not a fan of vista however while trying to install XP it could not recognise the hard drive....apparantly i didnt have one. so the install could not even start. i couldnt find any help with this problem so i left it.

just wondering if anyone can link me to a guide with a list of all drivers needed or could post a list of drivers on here and maybe few steps on what to do.

thanks ^.^
