SATA Drivers

I understand that SATA drivers are needed when installing XP - where can I find them ?
They don't appear to be listed on the Acer site.

 

well you understand wrong then

 

Very helpful <grin>.
Does the One contain a SATA drive?

 

.depends which "one" you have
the a150 and all its variants have a hard drive ~( i think both the 160gb and the 120gb are a150 variants)
the a110 is a solid state drive

the only difference between the linux and xp versions on the hdd is the os, no hardware changes at all.
xp installs flawlessly on a zif interface, so i see no reason to suspect you would need drivers for it on a sata hard drive.
please point me to where it says you do need drivers...

If im not wrong, the AAO (the one with the hard drive, that is) has a SATA hard drive, but it does not need SATA drivers because the BIOS configures it as an IDE hard drive (PATA compatibility mode).
If, in the future, a firmware update will allow to set the drive to SATA then you will need the drivers in order to install the OS.

 

Yes, you're right!
But incase if someone needs SATA Drivers, you can download them here: Download now!

 

again, not 100% sure as I cant double check at the moment,
but I think all you need to download is the intel chipset drivers, the SATA driver should be in one of the folders.
