Thought I would elaborate a little on my situation in hopes of getting some answers.

I'm using Boot 132. If anyone has a better option please let me know.

It seems to me that maybe some drivers that are required are not being loaded. Such as display drivers, PS2 drivers. I beleive if I can get over that hurdle all will be good.

My intentions are to install OSX as a dual boot along side XP. I have a retail copy of OSX, it's the family pack. Don't know if the family pack part would make a difference.

All help would be appreciated. I have seen many post of people install OSX on the XPS M1210, so I am confident it can be done.

Thanks
