Hi..
I cant install windowsXP in my recently bought laptop Acer Extensa4630.
But I can install vista or windows7beta without any problem

Go to the BIOS settings --> Change the SATAMODE from AHCI to IDE , then u can install XP !!

You can use nLite to remove unwanted services nd language packs ( Make an ISO image and burn it into disc ) then boot the disc to install the OS
