Hello,

in the Acer aspire m5641 desktop the SATA mode cannot be changed, it is not highlighted, so what to do to install Windows XP? After loading drivers, always BSOD, it will not reach the formatting screen. I tried to even format the HD in another computer, so it is surely clean and empty. The same problem. Please help

drivers. Rename the folder to SATA Drivers

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

4) Open nlite application --> click on "Browse" and navigate it to your

where to save the files ---> Just navigate to your desired location ---> Click ons

"New Folder" button and select that folder ---> Click on OK ---> Now it copies the

windows xp files. After that click on Next--->Next.

5) In task selection ---> Click on "Drivers" and "Bootable ISO" options --> Click on

"Next".

6) Now click on "Insert" ---> Click on "Multiple Folder" ---> Navigate to the driver's

extracted location and select the folder "SATA Drivers" --->Click on "All" button -->

--->Click on "OK" ---> In "Text mode integration options", select all the drivers
