Troubles installing windows 7 on a acer aspire m1641

"Can you be more specific about the problem that causes the Windows 7 installation to fail?

Your comment ""no drivers found."" leads me to think that Vista/7 doesn't have built in drivers for your SATA controller. If the option is available in BIOS, change the SATA controller's mode from AHCI to IDE, and try again.

If that is the case, try downloading the SATA drivers from Acer's web site, and put them on a USB drive. When the Windows installer complains about drivers, put the USB drive in and pull the drivers from there."
