| 751846 | 2009-02-28 00:47:00 | We've decided to 'downgrade' the Vista OS to XP on this Acer machine and have downloaded all the relevant XP drivers. Problem is: during the installation process, XP doesn't recognise the SATA HDD - it complained that either it is virus infected or problem with the HDD and suggested to run chkdisk /f. What shall we do next? |

| 751847 | 2009-02-28 00:52:00 | We may have to install the SATA driver which have already downloaded but how to install it if there isn't any Floppy disk drive in the machine? It's a new PC of < 6 months and we don't want to open up the box just in case this may void the warranty! | bk T (215) | ||
