Tri-boot help.
Hello all. Figured this would be the most appropriate place for this so here it goes.
I need to tri-boot my system between XP, 7 and Ubuntu (all x64). But I am having some difficulties chasing down the required XP drivers. So, if anyone could help me find the proper drivers I would really appreciate it. XP Professional SP2 x64 is what I'm after. My system is the AS5738PG-6306. I already checked Acer's site, they don't have any of the x64 drivers only x86 (but if they have those then the x64 counterparts surely must exist somewhere).
I know it's the SATA controller I need to even be able to install it on here I just don't know which of them I need or how to determine that off of the hardware. I can chase down the rest after the install, I'm sure "Updates" will fetch most of them for me.
Also, while I mentioned it, if anyone can tell me how to save a backup of the updates and drivers after I've done the install I would also really appreciate that. I don't want to lose them after April 2014.
P.S. I know the proper install order is XP, 7 and then Ubuntu while partitioning as I go, so no worries on that part. The MBR's will be intact and without any third-party software that way - hurray.
