For anyone needing XP drivers for this notebook, don't go looking on the Acer webstie. Trust me they are not there.
I have searched far and wide for all compatible XP drivers for this Acer (specifically 5420-5038) and here is where you can find them.

Most can be found here
However the wireless card drivers cannot be found anywhere but here
For the ATI drivers just go to ATI and download you version of the express drivers under integrated/IGP.

This took many long hours for me and I hope it helps some of you out there. Thanks!

I registered just so I could post a hearty thank you. Thus ending the nightmarish realm that was the Acer notebook driver search.
