Downgrading from Vista to XP on SATA w/o floppy

Hey guys,

I'm trying to downgrade from Vista to XP for my mom's new Acer computer. I've tried to slipstream Acer's SATA RAID drivers into the chinese XP install disc using nlite and following these instructions...

...but I still get the BSOD. Anyone have any idea what else I can do? Is there better instructions out there? Thanks.

is this a laptop or desktop?

why would u need RAID drivers if its only one drive? i'm assuming

If you want a XP system best bet is a whitebox not a prebuilt unless you know it has xp drivers to support.

^ Ya, it was my thread. I checked acers website and it actually has XP home and pro drivers on their website. I'll try calling them. Thanks.
