Hi, Is that possible to install Windows XP sp2 on DEll Studio 1557 with Windows Vista Home Premium pre installed ??

Getting the error acpi.sys on the blue screen when installing the XP.tried googling it, was told to disable acpi, but that option is not available in this bios.
heard that, we can download the sata drivers for XP and integrate them into XP bootable installation disc?? also, can we press F6 when loading XP, and insert the drivers cd of vista to install the raid drivers and resume the setup with XP??
I tried changing the AHCI to ATA.But of no use !!

Hope I find a solution here !!

Regards,
-A.R.
