    Hello I'm An Acer Aspire 6930G user and it has vista home premium installed as OS. Today When I was trying to install Windows Xp on it A blue Error Screen Appear in the beginning of windows installing...I tried with 3 different Xp cd's but still the same problem.

    Here's the full form of what that blue screen says :


    The problem has detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage on your computer. If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow this steps:

    Check for viruses in your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers.Check your hard drives to make sure it is properly configured and terminated.
    run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

    Technical Information :

    *** STOP : 0x0000007B (0XF78D2524,0XC0000034,0X00000000,0X00000000)

    What to do?? How do I get rid of this problem??

    IDE/AHCI mode is usually switchable from the BIOS. If you're not running any other OS on this laptop I suggest you enter in the BIOS, change the HDD mode from AHCI to IDE and try to install again.

    If you don't know what a SATA driver is and such it will be very hard to proceed if the above doesn't work. If you didn't slipstreamed the driver yourself(now I understand that you don't) then no, your XP CD doesn't have this driver. The driver is NOT needed though if you switch to IDE mode from the BIOS.
