Installing windows xp on acer. How to restore the Windows operating system on an Acer Aspire one laptop

Recently, the vast majority of laptops come with pre-installed Windows Vista And Windows 7. Many users appreciated the innovations of the new operating system, but some still need it to work Windows XP.

This material describes the procedure for installing Windows XP on laptops not only from Acer, eMachines or Packard Bell, but also from other manufacturers, regardless of what operating system was previously there. All questions about installing and configuring Windows XP are addressed in this forum topic: . Before asking, I urge you to use the search on the topic.

Note: Owners of Windows Vista Business, Ultimate and related editions of Windows 7 can upgrade to Windows XP Professional for free. Read more about this opportunity

If you still decide to install Windows XP, then read on.

Preparing for installation

Now there is a clear trend when manufacturers, instead of equipping laptops with system recovery disks, create hidden partitions on the hard drive. This is typical not only for Acer, but also for many other manufacturers. It is assumed that the user will create them himself using special utilities. How to do this using the example of Acer laptops is described in this material:. If your laptop does not have a CD/DVD drive, you can use this guide: . More details about the technology of recovery from hidden partitions are described in these materials: and.

Note: In addition to system recovery disks, it is highly recommended to create images of hidden partitions. How to do this is described in this material:

One of the main problems when installing Windows XP is drivers. They can be found:

4) on manufacturers' websites.

Once the drivers have already been downloaded, you can begin preparing the distribution.

Preparing a Windows XP distribution

The Windows XP distribution does not contain drivers for SATA controllers from Intel and AMD 7th and older series. As a result, when installing Windows XP, not a single hard drive will be found. To fix this, we do ONE action described below:

1) go into the laptop BIOS and switch the operating mode of the SATA controller from AHCI to IDE-mode (the names may have a different form. Compatibility mode, For example). In this case, Windows XP should install successfully. Then integrate drivers for the SATA controller into the already installed Windows XP. How to do this is described in this article: . When the integration is complete, in the BIOS we switch the operating mode of the hard drive back to AHCI

2) integrate drivers SATA into the distribution with Windows XP. How to do this is described in this material: . Integration of SATA drivers into the distribution is discussed in this forum thread: . This is the option I recommend.

Note: now you can find a great variety of different builds of Windows XP with integrated drivers, service packs and other things. I strongly do not recommend using such assemblies. Practice shows that the vast majority of problems with drivers are associated with the use of such assemblies. The most common problems are with sound and Wi-Fi adapters. This is why I recommend using original builds of Windows XP without any drivers integrated by “traditional craftsmen”. It is recommended to use pure MSDN builds of Windows.

If you have a chipset from nVidia or AMD 6-series, then you DO NOT need to perform the operations described above. Windows XP will be installed anyway

Installing Windows XP

Installing Windows XP on a laptop is no different from installing it on a regular PC. It is very important not to confuse the disks where to install the system. The fact is that when installing XP, hidden partitions (read more about them here:) are visible as normal partitions, where XP can be installed.

BE CAREFUL! DO NOT INSTALL WINDOWS XP ON HIDDEN PARTITIONS!

Installing Windows XP from a flash drive is more complicated. It is described in these guides: Installing Windows XP from a flash drive or memory card and Installing Windows XP from a flash drive using WinToFlash.

All questions about installing Windows XP can be found in this forum thread:

Once the system is already installed, you can begin installing drivers. How this is done is described in detail in the manual: . If you have problems installing and searching for drivers, please refer to this forum topic: .

Return to Windows Vista or Windows 7

If you want to go back to the factory one again Windows Vista or Windows 7 with all the programs and drivers, then first you need to restore the MBR (as described here:), then you need to copy all the important information from drive C: because when restoring ALL information from drive C: IS ERASED! Information from drive D: remains intact.

When all the information has been copied, you can begin restoration. First you need to reboot and when a white screen appears with the inscription Acer you have to press at the same time ALT And F10. It’s not a fact that your recovery will start the first time, you need to practice :) If it doesn’t work out, then you need to go into the BIOS and see if the function is enabled eRecovery.

Note: for the automatic recovery function to work using ALT+F10, the presence of a hidden PQService partition and the original MBR are MANDATORY!

If you don't have a hidden section PQService, but there are recovery discs Factory Default Disc then it’s quite easy to boot from them... and regardless of the presence of hidden partitions and the original MBR, the system will be restored.

If the process has already started, then in half an hour or an hour the laptop will have a completely restored system, just like after the purchase :) And if something doesn’t work out, ask questions in the appropriate thread.

As an alternative to this technology, you can consider a quick system recovery method, which is described in this article: /

If you have neither hidden partitions nor disks, but want to have a licensed Vista or Windows 7, then read these materials: Installing Windows Vista and.

How to install Windows 7 on an Acer laptop with UEFI BIOS! Hello friends, a friend of mine bought an Acer Aspire ES1-511 laptop without an operating system. The laptop is inexpensive and is not designed for games, but only for work.

The BIOS of the Acer ES1-511 laptop is common for all Acer laptops with UEFI elements with all the ensuing consequences, and my friend could not install Windows 7 on it. Having spent two weekends on this matter, on Monday he called me and asked me to install the operating system for him.

How to install Windows 7 on an Acer laptop

A friend of mine lives outside the city and it took a long time to get there, and then I was almost eaten by his dog.

Then we take our laptop out of the box,

We connect our bootable USB flash drive to it. We connect the flash drive to a USB 2.0 port, since Windows 7 does not support USB 3.0 (ports are usually colored blue).

Turn on the laptop and press F2, enter the BIOS and immediately go to the Main tab.

Main Tab

We enable the ability to call the laptop boot menu when booting using the key F12. Set the F12 Boot Menu option to Enabled, then go to the tab Boot.

Boot tab

Naturally, this tab does not contain our Kingston installation flash drive, but it would be there if we made it a special UEFI flash drive. Set the Boot Mode option to Legacy

We agree with the warning. OK

Click F10, by doing this we save the changes made to the UEFI BIOS parameters and reboot.

Click when loading F12(call the laptop boot menu)

and please our Kingston bootable flash drive is present in Boot Menu, select it using the arrows on the keyboard and press Enter.

Note: If for some reason you are unable to open the laptop boot menu using the key F12, then enter the UEFI BIOS on the Boot tab and using the keys F6(raise up) place the flash drive in the first position, then press F10(save the settings and reboot),

As I already noted, after successfully installing Windows 7 on an Acer laptop with UEFI BIOS, we will face problems with drivers and we will successfully solve them.

What to do if Windows 8.1 is already installed on the Acer Aspire ES1-511 laptop, how to install it thenWindows 7 on this laptop

When the message “Press any key to boot from CD or DVD” appears on the screen, press any key on the keyboard, thereby agreeing to boot from the installation disk.

Install.

We accept the terms of the agreement. Select the full installation.

Friends, to install Windows 7, you need to delete all existing partitions on your GPT hard drive and install Windows 7 directly into the unallocated space. Click on the “Disk Setup” button and delete all existing partitions,

then install Windows 7 directly into the unallocated space.

Windows 7 automatically converts the hard drive to the MBR standard during installation. Click on the Next button.

If the Next button is inactive or an error occurs (which is unlikely), then we call the command line, press Shift + F10 on the keyboard and convert our hard drive to the MBR standard in the command line, all partitions and data on the disk will also be deleted.

Press Shift + F10 on the keyboard. On the command line, enter the commands sequentially:

diskpart
seldis 0
clean
convert mbr
exit
exit

Click Update.

Then my choice fell on MSI WIND U100. Time passed, but the device never appeared on sale. Apparently Tekhnosila (the official dealer) did not want to distribute the new product without emptying its warehouses of its junior model, the U90, which it did not want to take. As a result, Acer Aspire One was purchased. In fact, it is not inferior to the MSI product, and is much nicer than ASUS.

The netbook was purchased with pre-installed OS Linux Linups, which is extremely limited in functionality. Updating the OS was vital. I would have installed Ubuntu myself, but the person asked for XP. Since this was my first time installing an OS from a flash drive, the solution was to Google this topic.

There has been a lot of information on the topic: “Installing Windows from a flash drive,” but all the methods offered on the network are too labor-intensive and often not effective, as it happens, first one thing or another.

I started searching for the query: “Aspire One XP”, and on one shaggy page of results I found an interesting link: Installing Windows Xp from flash on Acer Aspire One. The topic interested me very much, the method described in it was quite simple, just download one archive and do everything step by step. BUT! At one stage, the process reported an error with the *.img file and died. Then I followed the sources of the article, figured out that the article was a reprint of popular material from ee-pisi.ru, and the author added almost nothing of his own +). As a result, on that site I found an excellent tool, which, without coughing, made me a bootable USB flash drive, with which I successfully installed Windows on this device.

I didn’t touch the distribution kit, I installed Windows as is, then I installed the drivers and made the necessary settings.

The bottom line is this: he who seeks will find! And you will succeed! Good luck in your endeavors;)

I don't find anything beautiful in him. But every path has a place to exist.

Hello! Unfortunately, I did not encounter such a problem, and after installation I returned the laptop to its owner. Perhaps the author of this blog can help? : http://5an.kz/?n=229

Guys! Everything is much easier with a USB CD-rom!
The current firewood on XP for note devices needs to be downloaded, which was not much of a problem... even SP2 became (model note 110-AW)

And if there is a current flash?

Oops! The article is right on topic! I've been looking for something like this for a long time. I just recently got an Espaer 150 with a 3rd HRuni servopack. One thing is bad. – There are probably no pre-installed OSes without glitches by definition:-(I used to think that Vista was installed clumsily, but after buying the netbook described above... Well, oh well! The main thing now is that I have solved one question. If the system has to be rearranged (probability is approx. 70/30 in favor of reinstalling) at least I know how to screw the flash drive. MORE SENX! And now the fly in the ointment: Who knows. – When going to sleep or hibernation (waiting/sleeping), the computer turns off the screen, but forgets to turn off itself (damn insomnia!) this often happens I observe that the firewood is original from small soft ones, I have rearranged it more than once, it helps, but not for long. Anyone who has any ideas, I will be glad!

I want something like this.

and everything went according to those instructions for me

Which one?

It installs the system, but does not want to boot. what to do?

Do, do and do again. Apparently they deviated from the instructions somewhere.

Acer Aspire One A150 BGK - I did everything exactly according to the instructions, after copying the files and rebooting, selecting what to boot from (in the BIOS it is as it was: HDD, USB, LAN), indicated a flash drive, chose the second option, but there was an error about hal.dll .What didn’t I do... Help!

ACER Aspire ONE A150 BGK - I did everything exactly according to the instructions, but after the second reboot it gives an error with hal.dll. I chose the second option, in the BIOS everything is as it was, the first screw. Doesn't matter….

Unfortunately, I can’t help, I don’t have such a subnote, I don’t experiment with it.

The problem was solved by deleting the partition with system programs.

Thank you for posting, maybe it will be useful to someone. Maybe for me too. Thank you!

Thank you, your method helped me. It turned out to be much easier to make boot sectors using UltraISO.

to (24 Trace left by Vitalik | September 9, 2009) the operating system does not boot from the partition where it was installed (without a flash drive), so in the boot.ini file you need to change the value disk(1) to disk(0).

You can restore the Windows 7 (Vista, XP, Windows 8) operating system on an Acer Aspire One laptop to its previous working state or completely to factory settings.

Only the last option is not suitable for everyone, but only for owners of acer laptops who bought it, with windows 7 or another pre-installed.

The recovery image is then specially written to a separate partition on the hard drive - it is reset by default.

If you accidentally (don’t know) something gets screwed up, then it’s better to use the first option (the second deletes all your personal files: games, programs, settings).

The first option is to restore operating system windows on laptop Acer

To restore Windows acer laptop, be sure to connect the charger. Then turn it off and on.

When you see the laptop logo, press two keys (at the same time) Alt F10 (maybe several times).

The “Windows Acer eRecovery Management” utility will launch (the Disk-to-Disk (D2D) option must be enabled in the BIOS).

When prompted for a password, here is the standard: "000000", "AIM1R8", "00000000". Then click on the line “Full system factory reset”.

Yes, I almost forgot, it is possible to restore while saving user data.

You can restore the registry, if there are save points, roll back. Only if you don't boot in safe mode do you need to use the distribution (installation disk) to rollback. However, if you have a distribution, you can simply reinstall winds, if it doesn't work, then the disk was flying.
Most of what is written above depends on the model of the PC itself.

thanks Frank. I have a netbook acer AO 533-138kk.crom net.v bios all instructions. the system began to slow down. I decided to do a full rollback. I started installing the OS and didn't write a single device. I was in the BIOS, I changed the disks. The result is the same. Aser eRekoveri on site.d2d too. asking disk.kuda it doesn't show. can someone help. thanks in advance.

0x3 indicates that the system cannot find the recovery disk. Why, I don't know, maybe you deleted it or corrupted it. If there is no SD, you can install Windows from a USB drive. Try to find the reasons for the slowdown. Check for viruses (Doctor Web), look at processes (in the task manager), perform optimization (there are many such programs), etc., although hardware problems are also possible.

Yeah, well I don't have a manager

how to make a manager?

If not, but you need it, then just download and install.

Thank you, everyone worked well. Only now the laptop asks the user for a password when booting, no passwords are set. What to do?

Thank you! Everything worked. Good luck!

The first option is to restore the Windows operating system on an Acer laptop

To restore Windows on an Acer laptop, be sure to connect the charger. Then turn it off and on.

When you see the laptop logo, press two keys (simultaneously) Alt + F10 (you can do it several times).

The Windows Acer eRecovery Management recovery utility will launch (the Disk-to-Disk (D2D) option must be enabled in the BIOS).

When prompted for a password, here are the standard ones: “000000”, “AIM1R8”, “00000000”. Next, click on the line “full restore system factory settings.”

Yes, I almost forgot, there is also the possibility of recovery while saving user data.

On an Acer netbook this takes about 15 minutes. Confirm by clicking “OK”. The computer will restart, and

The second system recovery option on an acer aspire one windows laptop

This recovery option can only be used if your laptop is still able to boot.

Then you can start restoring Acer eRecovery Management to factory settings directly from a running Windows operating system.

To do this, then click at the bottom “all programs” and click on the line “Acer eRecovery Management”.

After that, on the left side, click “restore”. Next, you can choose “restore the operating system and save user data” or without them. All further actions are similar to the first option.

If “the work does not work”, as already written above, enter the “BIOS” and in the “Main” tab, enable the “D2D Recovery” option - set the position to “Enabled”.

Immediately after this you can press F10 and after rebooting Alt + F10. Then the process described in the first option will follow. Good luck.
