A few days ago, my friend bought an Acer Aspire 4732z laptop, and then he asked me for help to install Windows XP on Acer Aspire 4732z Laptop. I received, with confidence, the laptop and his Windows XP Original CD. (This case is how to).
First, I set the bios (press the F2 key at boot), then I went into the Boot menu to determine the order of booting from the CD and I save it, then insert the Windows XP CD into the CD Drive and restart.
I follow the standard steps installation of Windows XP. The problem occured when loading windows for the installation, the blue screen appears (the term if the computer screen displays a blue screen, a sign that there is hardware conflict / no support).
I tried again until a couple of times, but remained the same result.
Then I tried to enter bios again, this time I tried to check the SATA mode. There was a choice of IDE and AHCI. AHCI mode selected by default. I try changing to IDE mode. Then I restart the laptop again, repeat the installation process.
Voilla...!! The Installation went smoothly like a charm.
Information from Acer Service Center that i got:
SATA AHCI mode is used for Windows VISTA. IDE mode is used for Windows XP.
Original version is in Indonesian can found in ekomath93 blog. Thanks to him.
