newbie here need a lil help
Hi Good Day to all of you, i have an Acer Aspire 4710z which is a linux. it has windows vista in it. i want to downgrade it to Windows XP. is there any other way rather than using a external FDD (my laptop doesn't have a FDD) or creating a custom XP installer. because the problem is the Hard Disk Drivers when you install it with XP. Hope you can give me tips or knowledge about this. thanks. JMX22, Newbie  -- jmx22

Hello JMX, You could use a USB flash key drive instead to put the drivers on to use at boot. You may need to format it with FAT32 instead of NTFS though. Hope this helps, Shawn jmx22;1038842 Wrote: Hi Good Day to all of you, i have an Acer Aspire 4710z which is a linux. it has windows vista in it. i want to downgrade it to Windows XP. is there any other way rather than using a external FDD (my laptop doesn't have a FDD) or creating a custom XP installer. because the problem is the Hard Disk Drivers when you install it with XP.
