    Please don't use all the text formating when posting a simple question. It will NOT get it noticed any more readily.

    Sounds like you need a VISTA version rather than the XP one you tried to install.

    That error is usually caused due to a problem in the boot.ini file of the MD Windows installation. Check this post for a possible fix. Instead of booting with the XP CD you can use md3utils.exe (MD Installation Disk\Dellkit\MD3Utils.exe) to mount the hidden MD partition.

    Usage: md3utils.exe /mapmd3 or, optionally you can specify the drive letter as md3utils.exe /mapmd3=x

    That may or may not work, I haven't tried it with Vista, give it a try and see.
