It is an Intel chip set and motherboard as far as I know.
Thank you

Download the file and extract the contents to a blank floppy disk. Then when starting the Windows XP setup, hit "F6" when it asks if you want to use a 3rd party RAID driver and insert the floppy and select the driver to load.

You will need a floppy drive (USB might work, not sure) as you can't load RAID drivers in XP from anything else.

You can slipstream them with nLite though :)

1165163 2011-02-18 07:54:00 Thank you to all who have helped with this problem of mine about dual booting.

My new Acer Aspire has had a failure of some kind. It just would not start the other day. It has been sent back to Acer in Auckland for repair under the warranty which I am told will take at least 2 weeks and possibly more if new parts are required which are not available in Auckland. In the meantime its back to an old very slow XP

I have now come to the decision that I will upgrade to Windows 7 Professional and use XP Mode.

Thank you
