I had 7.10 running in dual boot mode on this vostro 1500 with no issues.
I installed 8.04 and now Windows XP (on all reboots since 8.04 was installed) states it found a base system device. How can this be possible? I have not added any new hardware to the laptop, made no changes in XP. Not even sure if the base system device (which windows can't find drivers for) issue was caused by the 8.04 install. Just odd to see new hardware pop up after I installed 8.04
