Dual boot didn't work...

If it doesn't already include SP1, the simplest thing is to get installation media that already has it.

As I explained above it doesn't matter if the installation iso is called Ultimate, or Home Premium, or Professional. They all contain all the editions. They are identical except for one tiny text file, which the eicfg remover gets rid of.

You can get any one of these. They all contain SP1. And they all contain Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate editions.

Finally was able to add drivers after addressing that Dell issue requiring an MS KB file. So glad to finally get this thing online! Thanks so much, everyone.
