876033 2010-04-15 01:12:00 you would be better off doing a complete fresh install - since its a W7 Upgrade DVD, you should be able to do what it says here (www.sevenforums.com) - the link Speedy posted before was for fresh install on a full install DVD, you can do it from a upgrade, just change a couple of steps in the process.

IF you are having booting from any CD/DVD on the laptop, and its set to boot from the Optical drive the drive its self may be faulty.

If the DVD's boot from another PC as speedy suggested then you may have to boot from a USB drive and load in W7 as long as the Laptop has that option for USB.

876034 2010-04-15 01:13:00 I have to go out for an hour or so but I should be back online then :( ollieogg (6593)
876035 2010-04-15 01:15:00 According to this (www.acer.co.nz) if this is what you've got. Windows 7 may not work anyway. Since its X out. Select Notebook - Aspire - Aspire 5100 Speedy Gonzales (78)
876036 2010-04-15 01:41:00 looking at the site Speedy - I'd say Acer dont do drivers for that model / W7.

Googling the model, some people have had problems it that sense. "Should" install though, if it can handle Vista it "should" breeze in on W7. Drivers unless auto or Vista may be a different matter. :)

876037 2010-04-15 02:43:00 I bought the laptop with Vista already installed though? ollieogg (6593)
876038 2010-04-15 02:45:00 Is it possible to just go back to Vista? ollieogg (6593)
876039 2010-04-15 02:54:00 Well if you created the restore cd's / dvds thats what theyre for. But for some reason nothing wants to work Speedy Gonzales (78)
876040 2010-04-15 02:55:00 Do you think the time may have come where I give up and take it in to be fixed? ollieogg (6593)
876041 2010-04-15 03:00:00 Ring Acer tell them the restore cd's / dvds are useless. And ask for some restore cd's / dvds to be sent to you. You may have to pay something to get them. Or if anyone else is from Dunedin (is that where you are)? they maybe able to help Speedy Gonzales (78)
