Last Method on Installing Acer 5315 Drivers for Win Xp

Acer 5315 Drivers for Win Xp

1- First download and install nLite.
(Requires .NET Framework 2.0, you’ve probably already got that, but if nLite won’t run, download the .NET Framework)
2- Now download and extract the slipstream drivers to a folder like C:\Drivers-temp\
3- Insert your WinXP install disk, cancel out of the autorun if it pops up.
4- Start up nLite, click next on the splash screen. Tell it where your CD is. It will ask you to tell it where to cache the files at. You can just use a folder like C:\XP-temp\ for that.
5- On the “Presets” screen, click Next again. Now click on the “Drivers” button, as well as the “Bootable ISO” button, then click “Next”
6- On the “Drivers” screen, click “Insert”, then “Multiple Driver Folder”. Point nLite to the location where you extracted the slipstream drivers, such as C:\Drivers-temp\ and then click OK.
7- On the “Select multiple drivers to integrate” window you’ll need to highlight the path at the top (such as C:\Drivers-temp\) by clicking on it once, then click “OK”.
8- On the “Driver Integration Options” window under “Textmode integration options” highlight the whole list by clicking once on the top item, then shift-clicking once on the bottom item. With that list still highlighted, click “OK” at the bottom.
9- Back on the “Drivers” screen, click “Next”. The “Apply Changes:” dialog should pop up, asking if you really want to start the process. Click “Yes”.
10- After the processing completes, you’ll need to click “Next”, at which point you’ll be taken to the final screen.
11- On the “Bootable ISO” screen, change the “Mode” drop down menu from “Create Image” to “Direct Burn”. Eject your WinXP disk, and insert a blank disk into your burner. For safety’s sake, put a check mark next to “Verify”.
12- Finally, click Burn.

You're done for a proper install disk for the Acer 5315(acer 5315 drivers for win xp)

13- Now you’ll need to boot your laptop from that disk. In order to be able to boot from the CD, we’ll first need to make a couple of quick changes in the notebook’s BIOS. Follow the instruction on previous page on first method on installing acer aspire 5315 winxp drivers.
14- After it gets started, windows installer will ask you where you’d like to install Windows XP to: follow the prompts to delete all the current partitions, then follow the prompts to create a new partition, and install Windows XP to that. You can chose the “Quick Format” to speed things up.
15- Follow the rest of the prompts to windows in the usual fashion.
16- Next, use the following drivers to get all your hardware set up, since Acer is providing only Vista support on this notebook so far.
