    Hi, I just bought an AAO AOD150 1920 and I would like to install XP Pro on it. I have already found a nice guide to do it following one thread on this Forum (http://jargongeneration.com/AcerAspire/index.php), but I still have a problem.......When I log into the BIOS the option to change the boot sequence at log on by pressing the key F12 is Disabled and greyed out. I tried to update the BIOS to the latest available version, but nothing changed. Does anyone know how to enable the F12 boot option option?

    Thanks a lot,

    Marius

    A new BIOS-update for AAO D150 is out = version 1.09. This enables the F12 function.

    Hold down the F2 key during boot; poke around until you find a menu that allows you to enable F12 (which is disabled by default).
