    I have an Acer Aspire 5100. Today, I completely deleted Windows Vista off my machine and did a fresh install of Windows XP. Everything went perfectly except one thing. In my device manager, I have 3 PCI Flash Memory devices with question marks next to them. I don't know what drivers to download for them so any help with this would be awesome.
    Thank you in advance.

    That might be the TurboCache (if you got it with your PC) and as such will not be able to download a driver.

    Not entirely sure if that is all though.
