Windows XP drivers for Acer Aspire One

Update: You can now download the drivers from Acer’s support site. 

A few weeks ago AspireOneUser uploaded a series of drivers that you could use to get Windows XP up and running on an Acer Aspire One Laptop. Now it looks like you don’t have to rely on these unofficial drivers anymore, since Acer has uploaded its own drivers to its FTP site.

At the moment, Acer is only selling a Linux version of the laptop. While you can certainly install Windows XP yourself, using a USB DVD-ROM drive or a USB flash drive (if you modify these installation instructions), there’s a good chance that some things won’t work properly without the proper drivers. So I’d recommend downloading and installing the audio, card reader, chipset, LAN, WLAN, display, touchpad, and other drivers if you plan to install Windows on an Aspire One that came with Linux preloaded.

    Hello,
    I've just purchased an Aspire One 150 netbook with 1.5GB of RAM and 160GB of HDD. it came with Linux and I just installed XP. I got everything up and running except sound and card reader. when i go into the device manager, the sound shows as Legacy sound and video drivers. but any audio program will tell me that there are no installed sound devices. i searched for the driver and all i found was Realtek 5.10.0.5628 audio driver but this sill not install over the Legacy. I've rally hita brick wall here and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advanced.
  • If you have found a solution please post it here. Thanks.

I hate Acers modified version of Linux and want to install my copy of XP to it...I haven't a clue how to do it, I don't have a USB ODD, only a Flash Drive and another Laptop running Vista (32~Bit)

    how to make partition in aspire one hard disk
  • Morpheus
    x si acaso te ataca un virus de esos buenos, te recomiento en la Acer Aspire One que no formatee todo el disco, conserva la partición especial, ya que ahí se almacena toda la información de drivers que se necesitan para que funcione perfectamente.
