hi all

looking to install windows xp pro on my laptop as ive had some problems with it like internet explorer freezes the make and model is a acer extensa 5220 can anyone help as ive been reading up on it things to do with the hard drive bios setup does not find the hard drive to install windows also found a web site that talks you though it with nlite but it only tells you to copy the drivers for your hard drive what about the other drivers like my mouse pad sound and others please help me:eatarrow:

thanks copycat2000
 
XP should find what drivers for your drive on install if its a PATA (IDE) drive. If its a SATA drive you will need to get the make and model of the drive, then download the XP SATA drivers for it. and install it with the F6 option on XP when in loads the files to memory on installation.
 
if ur lappy had xp on it or below , then go to the acer site put ur model in and u should b ok , if it has had vista on , then u might find it hard to find the drivers for xp , if u lappy had me , 98 or 95 then make sure u have @ the very least 128 megs of ram , as it will struggle to install

For drivers have a look at the thread digicol posted earlier. some good links in that thread.

I put XP on mine and had to slipstream my sata drivers onto the disc with nlite. If you can get a copy of Black XP then that will already have them slipstreamed and will possibly have all your other drivers aswell.
