Problems loading Windows 7 on to Acer Aspire AM3900 with Linux preload
Hi,
I hope someone out there can help me. I have just purchased an Acer Aspire AM3900 which came with Lupis Linux software preloaded. I bought it because of its spec, Intel Pentium E5800 with 4Gb ram and 1TB HDD and figured price was good because it did not come with W7 preloaded. At least 1 review which I read before purchasing said they had loaded windows 7 with no issues. I have made several attempts to load a copy of Windows 7 Professional without success. Each tme I get a message just as the loading has started saying that it cannot find the drivers for the CD drive which is listed as being DVD Super-Multi drive. There was a CD which came with the computer with drivers on it. The CD says it is for W7 X86/X64 but when I load it I get a nother message saying that no drivers have been found. I have also downloaded drivers from the Acer websie but none of them are reconised iether.
I realise this is not a Linux forum but if there is anyone who could help I would appreciate it.
Beginning to realise cheap sometimes means nasty.
Cheers
