Question

Hello, 

I have ACER ASPIRE ONE ZG5 notebook
It has Windows XP russian version on it and is very very laggy
I want to reinstal Windows, 
I have made a bootable USB-flash,
The instalation starts, then computer restarts and it shows blue screen
It asks to  



   
When I choose "set up"  it sais 
     - Setup cannot find a CD-ROM drive
       



The problem is that I DONT HAVE A CD-ROM :(
I have tried different boot options, nothing helped

I have read in other posts "Choose the ATA instead of AHCI on the SATA configuration"
But I dont have such an option in my bios

Should I upgrade BIOS or use a portable CD-ROM?
Or maybe there is some different solution?

thanks in advance :)

Hello

Making a bootable pen drive was not a good idea in your case.

Perhaps you should take a look at this Kioskea "How-to "

Good luck

Factory restore is like returning it to the same state, out of the box, when you purchased it.  If the recovery partition was not corrupted, if you had XP, it will return to XP.  Since XP is no longer supported, you may get security issues and may also have difficulties getting the service packs, sp2 and sp3.

The minimum requirements for Windows 7 are:

Processor: 1 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor
Memory:  1 GB of system memory
Hard drive: 16 GB of available disk space
Video card:  Support for DirectX 9 graphics with 128MB memory
