    The eRecovery has been deleted by mistake.
    And I don't have any backup.

    I now want to install both Win7 & WinXP on the SATA hard drive.
    Have already purchased a usb floppy drive and downloaded the SATA drivers from Acer website.

    When installing WinXP, after pressing F6 & S, these drivers show up:
    INTEL ICH7R/DH SATA RAID CONTROLLER
    INTEL ICHMDH SATA RAID CONTROLLER
    INTEL ICH8R/ICH9R/ICH1 OR SATA RAID CONTROLLER
    INTEL ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E SATA RAID CONTROLLER

    My problems:
    1.Which one or ones of these drivers ought to be used?
    2.How do I know how to select the right drivers?
    2.What will happen if wrong driver or drivers are used?
    4.How to undo or correct such mistakes?

    Thank you!
