kotsos_gr · 09-10-2009, 05:02 AM

Hello, I would like you share my problem with you, and if someone can help, I'd be grateful. I've bought my self a Acer ASPIRE 5520G with VISTA installed. So I removed and put an XP (sp2) on it.
Then, because i can not found drivers, cause Acer didn't have drivers for XP for this laptop, i removed XP and tried to put an Vista on it. But when i press enter for istall the Vista it give me this message
"To install the device driver which required for the access to hard drive........................"
What driver it need????????????????
Thanks, beforehand

Hi,
Acer has XP drivers for this model:
http://gd.panam.acer.com/home/
Notebook
Aspire
Aspire 5520G

When the page opens up go to OPERATING SYSTEM and scroll down to XP

What is the BIOS set to for your Sata Mode (IDE/SATA/ACHI)?

If you want XP on it you can set the Sata to IDE.
Install XP
Then install the CHIPSET Driver first.

Is the Vista DVD an Acer Recovery DVD or a retail DVD?
Did you create a Recovery DVD in e-Recovery prior to install XP?

Not sure what you mean by this?

Does this mean you are putting XP on this or Vista on this computer?
