Hello,



I just wiped my lap top due to a virus.I used Killdisk.

It's an acer aspire 57152.

I tried to reinstall xp,which is halted by a message stating that no installed hard drives were detected.

Is slipstreaming xp with the oem drivers the only solution?

If this is the case,are you able to step by step advise me?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

winrar to extract the files)

3) Place the "Windows XP" cd in the drive.

that contains xp cd placed in that drive. ----> then it asks you where to save the

files ----> just navigate to your desired location ---> click on "New Folder" button
