You should have got a disc with it.if not you might try backup and restore programe,you will find this in your control panel.
or you can try your upgrade disc but you might find your windows xp number may not run with the upgrade.

Your system needs audio driver for the sound to work.
follow this link

and download drivers for your system (select your model 5315), make sure you choose the one that matches your OS, that is XP.

hi thanks for using fixya!

As I wanted to provide suggestions to you, but on this case, I will suggest if you can bring your laptop to a service center and have it fixed. There are so many reasons why it is not working properly and some errors within. It could help a lot if you will bring it and a service technician will see it personally.

Regards!

Sounds Like a driver issue. Uninstall the Sound drivers in the device manager, and check with the Acer website and download the appropriate drivers for your laptop.

Yes Ana, you can install Windows XP professional. SP2 will be fine too. However, it may run into issues finding the specific device-drivers your PC uses. Do you have any CDs with your device drivers, i.e. audio/video cards, printer, network cards, etc.?
You would need those before you start installing the new system.

How can I go back to original operating system?

Hi,
as Windows 7 is a improved and many times better Windows, I suggesr you to stay with it.
No, you may not recover if you do not have:
  1. a recovery media ( such as DVD / CD)
  2. a recovery partition

If you do have these, you may go back to Windows Xp. Windows 7 is just better.

I am unable to install windows XP. is it possible to install windows XP along with the Windows 7 that is already installed........ suggest me asap

If you want to have both windows 7 and windows xp installed on your computer, it is advisable that you first install windows xp. You should allways install the oldest windows version first. To install windows XP on your computer you need the installation cd. Boot your computer with the Windows XP installation cd, maybe you have to enter bios to set cd to boot first. Let me now if you need more information.

Can i install windows-xp on my laptop which is currently working on windows-7 and use both of them.

Hi,
Yes you can install windows xp in windows 7.
Windows XP Mode is a virtual PC image of Windows XP Service Pack 3 that could be run on Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate versions. Applications installed into Windows XP Mode could be run in Desktop Mode or Seamless Mode. In Seamless Mode, applications appear to run natively within Windows 7, but they are actually running inside the Windows XP virtual machine. Windows XP Mode might also provide additional integration that traditional Virtual PC images might not be giving. Applications installed on the Windows XP image could be exposed to the Windows 7 Start menu. Applications run in seamless mode is having automatic access to the Windows 7 known folders like Documents, Pictures, Desktop, Music, etc. Also the Cut-and-paste is enabled between native Windows 7 applications and those running in Windows XP Mode. Applications running in Windows XP Mode might also access your Windows 7 network connection and USB devices.

Can I downgrade E627 from 7 to xp...machine crashes after loading xp install disc.

Yes you can, make sure you switch the BIOS to IDE instead of AHCI.

clay58, you have no clue what you are talking about, Windows 7 is "okay", but XP is not "out of date, defunct"...Win XP is the most used OS in the world. None of my printers or DSLR cameras are supported in 7, only XP. So yes you can downgrade, I have done so.
