Instructions on how to downgrade aspire 3680 to XP

If you were to log on to the acer.com web site, I think you will be pleasantly surprised as usually one is able to download if available, by model number, Customer Instruction Manuals, list of Dealers, for spare parts and service, Driver downloads and Installation Instructions as required.

This is the best way of ensuring up to date drivers for your system and they are free of charge!

There are no XP drivers to be found with Microsoft as XP is no longer supported.

Some manufacturers may have a limited number of Drivers still listed.

I hope this helps.

You cannot downgrade a vista to xp. You can upgrade to win7. Or you need to format

it sound like you dont have the right driver for your wireless contact the web site where you got your driver from and tell them it didnt work or go to driverguide,com see if you can get one

you can try one thing..
if you got windows xp cd with you
restart the computer and change the BIOS setting (first device cd/dvd rom)
put the xp cd in
run with cd
go to xp recovery and try to repair it.
it will definitely work

If all you need is to format the disk

1. Insert your XP disk
2. reboot you machine after cancelling all the installation set up details
3. Follow the instructions that follow as if you are installing Xp afresh (install, Accept terms,) then choose drive to install XP on (the one with current XP or else others) press delete (D) and follow the instruction to accept
4. After deleting choose Install XP and chose to format your disk the way you want Fast/Slow to FAT/NTFS

Please note formatting is deleting everything (EVERYTHING) on that disk preparing to store new information as a blank HDD i.e. you will lose everything on the disk viruses, bad stuff and all your valuable data on it
