Thread Starter 
Hi there,
I just bought a acer aspire 4310. I installed windows xp sp2 into it but the program kept saying that it couldn't detect any hard disk. I went back to the store and the storekeeper said 4310 only supports windows vista. Anyone can help me ? Thanks.

You never stated what kind of HD is in the computer. If it is a SATA drive you will need to find a driver so XP can ID the drive and allow you to install it. I would suggest you search Acer website or the HD manufacturer site for the needed driver

If it was me I'd keep the Vista, I am running Vista on my Aspire 5100 and it hums. No problems, everything works.

First of all, the problem you're facing is because your hardisk is a SATA hardisk. You therefore need some SATA drivers and the files has to be installed from an external USB Floppy drive before any WinXP SP2 installation is possible.

For further details, please e-mail me for the SATA files and further instruction on the actual installation

Look. Download Windows XP Colossus Edition 2 from this link: http://www.taringa.net/posts/downloa...-links%22.html

After download it, try to install it and..... it works. It has all SCSI, SATA and everything you want about drivers. It really works. You don´t need to use a Floppy disk USB. Good luck.

I think the only solution is to use a USB floppy drive, they can be had for around $18 on pricewatch.com. I don't think there is any way to tell it to look anywhere else than A:\

Look. Do that. Download Windows Colossus Edition 2 from the internet. It has sp2 and lots of applications to install. Also it has the drivers you need to have no problems with the installation of windows xp. You don´t need to buy a USB Floppy drive. Believe me. I did it and my client thanks me for the solution. Yours sincerelly... Paul

brand new acer model 4310,4315,4520,4570 and many more are design for windows vista. it's not compatible with xp.......

of course there a way to format it into xp but it have a bad effect on your computer. i suggest you guys just stick with vista even do its still not stabil.

my job is technician it and this is my experience handling this kind of notebook

I chossed the other option... When boot the machine press F2 to enter set up. change the HDD type from SATA to IDE then save and continue with XP set up. The HDD can be identified.
