    Where can I find the SATA drivers to slipstream for my Inspiron 1501?

    From the supplier`s site, Dell.
    http://support.dell.com/support/dow...g=&SystemID=INS_PNT_1501&hidos=WW1&hidlang=en
    From the drop-box, choose SATA.
    The thing is my girlfriend has the exact same Dell 1501 and I`ve been through the horror :D
    Or try the HDD manufacturer home page.
    Use HDTune to determine the HDD manufacturer.

    Link

    1. Download file
    2. http://downloadmirror.intel.com/14848/ENG/readme.txt
      HTML: 
          7.2 Use one of the following command examples to extract the 
    driver files from the different package types:

      c:\iata_cd.exe -a -a -pc:\<path>
      c:\iata_enu.exe -a -a -pc:\<path>
      c:\setup.exe -a -pc:\<path>

    When the command is run, the installation process begins; 
    simply click through the dialogs as prompted. This will not 
    install the driver, it will only extract the driver files to 
    <path>. After the extraction is completed, the driver 
    files can be found in <path>\Driver.
    3. It'll extract into whatever folder you made and then use a program such as nLite to integrate the drivers (if that's what you're going to do).
