Acer :: 5112 WLMI Vista Installation
Jul 8, 2008Everytime i try to install vista (from lots off different sources, even from acer dvd upgrade pack) on Acer Aspire 5112 WLMI I get blue screen error 0000008e .

Checked RAM and disk with programs.
Everything is fine.
Acer :: Get A Clean Vista Installation Disk From Pre-installed
Feb 3, 2009i bought an acer aspire 8930G, with pre-installed vista (should be OEM) hp and a lot of useless additional software. the note is top, the thing i hate is the pre-installed os. now i want to run a clean vista installation.
reading in several forums about that, but not found the right way to do. so i have some questions.
1. is it possible to create vista installation disk (any kind of it) from data on hidden partition (or other data from the note)?
2. how the data for this disk has to look like?
i won't buy some extra disk, because i have already payed for it as buying licence!
for question nr 3 please check this...

Acer :: Calling All SamaritansMy Extensa 4420-5237 Will Not Complete A Vista Home Premium (retail) Installation
Jun 21, 2009This is a laptop without Recovery Discs, where the original drive partitions were erased and reformatted as 1 big partition. During Vista installation, it always reboots just as Vista is on the verge of "Completing Installation". So near and yet so far. The BIOS shows the hard drive as an IDE drive - even though this is clearly a SATA drive. Is this a driver problem? Do I need to load SATA drivers before having Vista go through the installation?

Acer :: What Is Difference Between 6935 And 6935G
Apr 26, 2009I spotted an Acer Aspire 6935 at a cheaper price which seems to have identical technical specs apart from a slower Hard Drive - 5,400rpm versus 7,200rpm.
I know that the G stands for Gemstone but from the pic available on the retailer's website its difficult to see any significant difference.
Can anyone tell me if there are any other differences between the 2 models? Or - is it purely a matter of cosmetics ? Are the cosmetic differences minor ?
Also - would there be any noticeable difference in performance between a 5,400 rpm HD and a 7,200 rpm HD if the processor and the graphics card are the same ?
I will be using the laptop for general purposes and occasional gaming.

Nov 14, 2008Are Acer laptops one's that I could rely on for 3-4 years to come?
I've been planning on buying a new laptop this month or at the beginning of December. I was considering Dell's new XPS, when they come out, but so far no luck on that front.
The Acer Aspire 6935 has caught my eye, but it seems dangerously cheap for the specs. (T9400 CPU, 9600GT GPU, Blu Ray, FullHD screen etc - and that for only 1299.- euros).
If users who have the 6935 could post their opinions (I realise that it won't be after a year or so of usage, but still) and maybe some benchmarks, or gaming results?
So all in all - is the quality up for it, is it up for 3-4 years, with out me going to the warranty service every now and then after a year or so?

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.1 Ghz,
3 GB RAM,
250Gb Harddisk,
GeForce 8400 Graphics Card

I had followed the Steps in notebookreview.com for "Clean install of Windows Vista" and installed Vista on my Laptop 6 months back and it worked perfectly fine.
Last week, i started facing issues with Vista and the system would automatically Hibernate.
The screen would go blank automatically even while its been used.
So, i decided to clean install Vista again.
I ran the Vista setup CD and using the Vista partition utility, formatted the Primary Parition c: (i have 3 paritions).
I started the setup and after copying 66% of the files. The system automatically shut itself down.
I Had to re-start the setup.
When i restarted the setup, the setup doesnt even start copying files. it shuts down during the initializing setup screen............

Acer :: Delete Vista Partitions, Format Hard Drive, Reinstall Vista ...
Feb 21, 2009Background:
A few days ago i bought an Acer 7730 laptop with Windows Vista pre-installed and no disks. After initial hesitation i have decided to keep vista and not downgrade to XP. After all there will be more service packs and tweaking should speed it up lots anyway.
However, i really want to get rid of the three partitions on the hard drive. There is only one physical hard drive but there are three partitions; a hidden 10GB one (EISA configuration) which from what i have gathered is now obsolete, a C: partition 111.44GB and a D: partition 111.44GB. There is no need to split a drive into several partitions now that we have the NTFS file system (unless you are using multiple operating systems of course - but i am not) so this is really annoying me.
I have made the 2 recovery DVD and the 1 applications/drivers DVD. I have an old WinXP disk that i can use to format the laptop if required.
Question:
Using the recovery disks (which i'm assuming contain a copy of my bought OEM Vista that was pre-installed on the laptop), can i delete the partitions, format the hard drive and install Vista onto a single c: partition?
I've done this exact process before with WinXP hundreds of times but i'm not sure whether i can do the same for Vista with just the 3 DVD mentioned...
Acer :: 5930G-733G25Mn Win XP Installation
Nov 24, 2008The settings are "IDE" in BIOS for the HDD.
Bios Ver: v1.21 (got that version by default)
So I got REAL problems when trying to install Win XP Pro SP2 on my brand new Acer Aspire 5930G-733G25Mn.
First I tried to slipstream the ahci driver and making a custom XP disk, that didn't work, I got BSOD before the first part (blue background and white text) of the Windows installation.
Ok so I bought a USB-floppy only for this problem and loaded "f6flpy32_85.zip" onto a floppydisk and pressed "F6" to load SATA drivers under the Win XP installation boot.
EDIT: I extracted the files onto a floppy, there are no .zip file on the floppy only the contents of that .zip file.
I then chose "Intel(R) ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E SATA RAID Controller" then I can get past the "first phase" of the Win XP installation.
BUT when I get to the end of the first installation with an automatic reboot within 15sec or enter to do it directly the following happends:

I want to install WinXP, but HDD is not recognized, What can i do, i doesn't find any HDD sata driver for this Model.
I just check the site where i bought the Notebook, i found another one, and have this note:
Operating system is not included.

Acer :: 6930G & Windows 7 Installation
May 20, 2009I've recently upgraded my 6930G to 4GB RAM as well as a 320GB & I decided to install Windows 7 64 bit RC instead of Vista.
I tried a test installation which went OK, with only 2 devices listed as requiring drivers to be installed are the Infra Red Device (which is listed as unknown device in Device Manager) and the fingerprint scanner.
What I was hoping is whether someone out there who's already installed Windows 7 RC and could help me with a guide for what other drivers should be installed, e.g. Chip set, ACHI etc. and whether they need to be installed in any particular order when it comes to installing for 'real'?
I noticed as well that the Acer empowering software was not compatable with Windows 7 (even in compatability mode), but am not sure whether this is any big deal?
Acer :: Aspire 6930 OS Installation
Mar 17, 2009I just got this latop and installation of Vista was done at first bootup. The thing is, it installs a tone of junk apps too!
I removed allot of it but now it doesn't always bootup. I'll get a black screen only and I have to reboot again. I don't think I deleted any system files but there may be some conflict or something at bootup (sometimes).
Is there a way to reinstall just Vista without all that junk?
Acer :: Aspire 9402 Windows Installation
Mar 9, 2009I recently got a Aspire 9402 without HD, so I just pop in another HD. However, I have problem installing a fresh XP onto it. You guys might know the answer.
First, I put in an HD with XP installed that worked perfectly on a dell 600m. The Acer gave me a blue screen. This looks reasonable since everything is different.
Then I put in a formatted clean HD set to active, and a bootable windows XP installation CD into either the built-in DVD-burner or USB DVD-RW driver. During the startup, I pressed F12 to select the right boot device. However, Acer always gave me error message, and would not boot from CD. I also tried Windows 7 or Vista disks, still no go.
It seems to me that Acer is different to other brands I have dealt with, like Dell or HP. I am not sure getting a set of recovery Disks from Acer would solve the problem.

Acer Aspire E5-411 :: No Bluetooth Device Showing After Win 7 Installation?
Nov 9, 2014I recently brought a Aspire E5-411, in Thailand, with a Linpus Linux OS. I installed my prefered OS Win7 x64. I managed to locate and install the hardware drivers. The strange thing is there is no bluetooth device showing in device manager. Is it because
(a) there is no b/tooth adapter on this model,
(b) the adapter is faulty,
(c) I need to install a driver to activate, or
(d) other?
Acer :: CPU Upgrade Failure
Jan 16, 2009I attempted to upgrade my ageing aspire 3053 to the quickest processor I could find, a Turion mobile X2 - TL-60 to be exact.
I prepared well for it, buying arctic silver 5, IPA and whatnot. I even paid some dodgy ebayer £2.50 for the service and repair guide for it.
However, it has not gone very well, after installing said new processor, the only thing the machine would do was turn on, pass POST and then the fan would spin at 3 bazillion RPM and then switch off. Cue 7 attempts of applying the thermal compound and much swearing, still to no avail.
After leaving it on the coffee table in bits for the past 3 weeks, I finally decided to call it a draw and re-install the old Sempron. Oh dear. Didnt quite go as expected either....
My machine now is only half the laptop it once was pre-faffing. I can no longer complete the XP setup, as, after all the files are copied across, and you enter the stage where you set up the internet connection, quite a few odd things happen. The cursor jumps around the screen like the machine is struggling and you have to hold down the keys for at least 30 seconds each to get them to register.
I have taken it to bits again to see if I could faff with it some more, and have noticed a couple of things:
1) The mainboard appears to be now warped.
2) There is a slight burr on the heatsink where the cpu core will sit - looks like a manufacturing defect.
Acer :: Bypassing Program Installation When Returning To Factory Default
Apr 8, 2009I'm trying to recover my friend's Aspire 5100 to factory default. I booted with the factory default CDs he had made. The problem i'm having is that when Vista starts up and the Acer programs are being installed (a 5 step process) the installation seems to freeze on step 4 (the eRecovery installation part)
I rebooted the computer and now when vista starts it begins trying to install the remaining 2 stages of the ACER setup.
Is there someway around this problem.
Basically, I'm wondering if i can eliminate this process and just install that stuff manually. Vista seems to have reinstalled fine, but i don't know how to get around the ACER setup.
I wrote Acer about the problem and all they could suggest was using the recovery on the hidden partition, which i'm pretty sure isn't there.

Nov 23, 2008Here is the story: PC started running slow, then started to get system failure BSODs.
Unplug the PC of all external drives and such, let sit for 30 minutes and it would work fine for a few days, then all would repeat.
So, I made a system restore point, and burned a system recovery DVD. I then tried to do a clean install of Vista Home Premium.
Ok, so here's the deal. It was installed onto D drive. Dont know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
But it went through the entire install just fine, the new desk top came up, everything looked great for about a minute. Then it turned itself off and has yet to run.
I kept getting an error message 'boot failed' and tried to roll back to the restore point [no good, it reset] and the recovery would not load either. Having purchased the notebook from BestBuy I was not given any restore or system discs, so I ordered both a system restore disc and a recovery from Acer, direct. They came in the mail Thursday.
I put the system disc in, and it said it was Loading RAMDISK Image, the progress bar went all the way over and then it asked for the recovery disc.
Inserting the recovery disc, the Restore to Factory Default scrren came up, and it warned that "partitioning C drive would erase all files, etc, and did I want to continue?"
After clicking OK, it proceeded to run down to about 30% completed and then I received the following Failure to Boot, Error Oxa0000002
So then I tried the whole procedure over, and its the same. Again, and again.
So then I called Acer tech, and was told I needed the Acer ISO Image, which I downloaded, unpacked, and burned to CD [using another computer obviously] and it will not even run that CD.
