    ACer Aspire... can't upgrade Vista


    Hi All,
    I am trying to upgrade my laptop to Windows 7 from Vista.

    All the editions are compatible, but when it gets to the "Select device driver...", there is NO drivers to be selected at all.

    Any help or direction, greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Welcome!

    See my post https://www.sevenforums.com/installat...-problems.html

    In short, try changing your SATA setting in your BIOS to AHCI.

    Thanks Jonathan,
    After reading your post, I did a quick Google and came up with this link that walked me through:

    Thanks so much for the quick response and point in absolutely the right direction. Owe ya a beer.

    Installing as we speak............ keep you posted.
