    Hi I own an A215-S7462 and I have been changing it from vista to xp home sp2. The last time I had it I was able to download and install sp3 this time every time I try to install it after its installed all I get are constant reboots, it never fully loads my operating system. I don't understand this cause I have installed sp3 on three other desktops and this laptop before with no problems, maybe someone can shed a little light on whats going on. Thanks!! :confused: Only way to get it running again is to reformat and start over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I had this happen as well. It is a BETA, and there are lots of bad copies floating around. I now have the latest Release Candidate, and it's been working well for me.
