Windows XP on 5920

[kbrms]

Has anyone tried to install winxp on 5920. Any problems with the drivers beyond the SATA on boot - video/audio?

Here's a collection of drivers that work on WinXP for this machine:

I embedded the sata driver to a Windows XP CD using a program called nlite and the CD boots & installs. And with these drivers everything except the Turbo Memory works (XP doesn't support it).

Cool, thanks. I ordered my acer yesterday, hopefully will get it on monday and test everything.

BTW, can you remember when creating the slipstreamed xp - it gives 10-15 drivers to chose from (some raid, some ach, some desktop, some mobile), which drivers did you pick and should it be text mode or PNP?

Thanks again

I selected all the ICH8* ones in text mode.

And here's the Modem and Touchpad drivers for 5920G:

Sorry for bumping this ancient thread but you should read this post: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=156238

I did find official 5920G XP drivers from Acer, so you don't have to go looking for ones from similar models/hardware.

by updating your bios to 3708(ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/note...20/vista/BIOS/) you can change the sata mode to ide in bios and xp will install with out a problem

Hi guys

I have downloaded all the xp drivers for my 5920G from Acer's FTP site. GOt some minor problems. Which drivers are for which hardwares?
Which one is for the
SATA HDD
Touch Pad
Programmable Keys
Touch sensetive Keys
Web Cam
USB
I have read one post in this thread saying that I should not use the webcam drivers since its going to make problems (shutdown problems I think). If I will not use the webcam driver, does this mean I cant use my webcam in XP (it bad since I will be needing it for teleconferencing). Is there another driver for the webcam in XP?

Thanks guys

Is it possible to install xp via ide mode (in bios) then once installed, update the driver to a sata one or would this not work ?

If i had to be stuck in ide mode, what would be the drawbacks ?
