    Hello Jeffmichael,

    You will need to change the setting for the HD controller mode from AHCI to IDE if you want to install XP.

    Hi.

    I just bought myself an ACER ASPIRE 4715Z. I can't seem to find drivers for some components. And I've been reading up on the incompatibility of some drivers?

    Is your laptop already working?

    Hi,

    Which component drivers are you looking for? XP?
