Re: Upgrading acer aspire one to windows vista
i'd highly recommend against it as i believe vista won't be a joy on this platform.
i would look on acer's website first

Re: Upgrading acer aspire one to windows vista
well, i checked and vista drivers are far and few. if you absolutly insist of installing vista, check on the parts and products in the netbook and go to there manufacturer website to download drivers.
for example your chipset is a Intel D945GM, here are drivers for Vista Home premium 32 bit you can use SIW = System Information for Windows to get details about the components in your system

Re: Upgrading acer aspire one to windows vista
forget that question, ive found my x32 disk, and also, i forgot to mention, im going to be using vlite to slim down the install, cos i know that my aa1 wont be able to handle aero etc, so that should make things a bit easier =D
