My system is an Acer Aspire M3641, simply out of the box and never opened before. I have been getting a lot of BSOD's lately (Long Story) and when my Vista installation totally broke down I was forced to do a clean install of my whole system.
When I inserted the XP SP3 x86 installation disc (which works) it worked untill the message: Setup is starting windows, after which I got a BSOD. This was before I did any googling.
I figured my system was even more dead then I thought so I decided to run KillDisk via Hiren's BCD. After the wipe I didn't expect any trouble since my computer is totally clean but I had the same problem. Then I injected a Win7 Ulti dvd and it only showed a black sreen and a blinking cursor. So after two failed attempts I did some googling and came to the conclusion it could be driver related.
Now I have a few questions, is this driver related? And so yes, what drivers do I need and how can I use them with the installation. I don't have a floppy drive and only 1 cd-drive.
I read somewhere that the BSOD had to do with my SATA settings in BIOS. Any ideas there?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
