Installing Windows XP on an Acer Aspire 4710
Michelle has an Acer Aspire Gemstone 4710 notebook. It comes with a pre-installed Microsoft Windows Vista Home Operating System which I am not quite fond of. So I convinced her that I reformat the notebook and downgrade the operating system to Microsoft Windows XP SP2. Being the persistent person that I am, she agreed.
Before I started, I made sure that I had the necessary recovery DVDs for the Acer Aspire 4710 in case anything goes wrong. With everything ready, I switched the notebook on, pressed F2 to enter setup, changed the boot priority to the optical drive, popped the Microsoft Windows XP SP2 CD in the drive, saved settings and rebooted.
