I have an Acer Aspire 4720Z laptop that came with Windows Vista. I do not want Vista and have succeeded in removing it from the system. But I cannot install Windows XP on it. The installer comes up with the message that it is unable to detect a hard drive on the system.

-   I have some kind of problem. Only thing is, the pc just shuts down itself. I put the windows xp pro sp3 cd that i have downloaded from the net. Everything loads, I did a quick format and then it copy the new files. But half way till 80 porcent it shuts down. I have an ACER Aspire 5100, 1.8 GHZ, 1 GB DDR2 with windows vista home premium preinstalled. Do you guys think that I must change the drive mode too? I will try it but want to know. I though maybe it got overheated? -   gerrit20
