How if we use the memory stick as a replacement?does it work?can we boot from the memory stick?or cannot?

I already did that but it doesnt work.

Hmm..then how to makes its work?I dont really understand the instruction..do we have to copy the data to the floppy disk?doest the space enough?what need to be copied?need to use external floppy disk drive?

sorry, my instructions are incomplete.

extract SATA_Raid.rar using winrar or winzip then copy all extracted files to a blank floppy disk do not include SATA_Raid.rar. Yes, you will use a external floppy drive. After that, just follow the instructions above.

For external floppy drive,can we use the home pc floppy drive to run it?or we need to buy a floppy drives using the usb port?

You need a floppy drive that uses a usb port. Because there is no other port that can be use to plug a external floppy drive(inshort external floppy drives can only be plug to a usb port).

Thx man..now i know how to do it edi..i thought that it would be similar to the non sata..i dont even know that it run under sata..consider im not very expert in this and wish to learn more in the future..thx for ur co-operation and i bet that this forum helps

i wonder y acer want to do it this way..in theory,yes,its fast,but yet not superb fast..but,for us to DIY,troublesome...huhuhu

Yeap! you got a point in there. They designed and release it for Windows Vista but they didn't anticipate that many users still uses Windows XP. Thats why the resource CD is only for windows vista not for windows xp.

Windows Vista has integrated SATA drivers there is no need to use external floppy drive.

I've tried run it on vista but it still doesnt work..its say that "your hard drive partition must convert to ntfs or something.dont know why it wont work..

What is the pre-bundled operating system? is it a linux OS?

Sir,
Do you have any idea why the driver of broadcom 802.11g network adapter provided by the acer didn't work.. My notebook is ACER aspire 4310 with windows XP professional OS. Thank you very much!

To all acer aspire 4310 user,

I used to worry like you before about the hasle of installing windows xp until I've learned how to integrate the SATA driver and Windows XP installer in one CD.
You will need the following software to do the job.. nLite-1.4.installer.beta and dotnetfx. You can download it at softpedia.com. Install first the dotnetfx. Then install the other software and run it. Just follow the instruction. Of course you should have Windows XP and SATA HDD installer.

acer 4720 not support with winXP
any have software.......
Pleaseeee........
Thank's
