Hello,
i have acer aspire 4930. i got vista ultimate installed on my laptop and now it is creating many problems for me. So i decided to format it and install xp. But whenever i boot frm the installation xp disc, first it starts saying that it id loading drivers and the moment it starts asking about the partitional info , a blue screen occurs and says that windows has detected a problem and is shut down to prevent damage.
I'm jst able to format my pc through vista bootable disc and install only vista in it.

i need to install xp in it at any cost!!!!
I have an aspire 4736.... had the same problem as described above.. your suggestion on changing the SATA mode to IDE... worked... i was able to install the winxp pro os. thank you so much.....
Hi, i have bought acer extenesa 4630 with preinstalled Linpus Linux. And while i am trying to do format with XP CD i got same problem of blue screen saying your computer will be damaged so shutdown. Then i searched about it over net and i found this help. And finally changing the setting in BIOS for SATA mode, i have been able to install XP on my laptop. I was then so happy, since my other friends were saying you have to buy Vista and then only i can format. But i have done with XP. Thanks for this help.
Thanking you

I have tried installing xp on my acer aspire x3200 many times and its just blue screened, i always thought it was my damaged windows cd, but now i realized i had to switch my SATA drive to IDE, Thank you alot!
Thanks a lot. Sweating for hours to get rid of the Linpus with error messages while trying to install XP until I saw your message. Now formatting is going on ok!
