    Well, I don't think you can just download the CD's...have you tried calling Acer to see if they will send you them? I know a lot of manufacturers will free of cost, but I'm not sure about Acer. It's worth a try.

    Here is a link to all the Acer Aspire 2000 series drivers for Windows XP. ;)

    YEa, i'll go with Chaz. If acer don't want to send them to you, you can get a copy of windows and download the drivers provided by chaz and install them instead.

    Can I use the recovery cd's from other models, aspire 3000 or 5000.
    I saw that they have arcada button and the same named cd's.

    Please help.

    If you can get a copy of the Windows CD, Microsoft should validate it for you as long as you have a valid license which you do with your machine. You may have to call though.
