Acer Aspire 4730z is preloaded with Windows Vista starter. I was really annoyed by its performance because I can only open up to 3 programs simultaneously, so i decided to change the OS to Windows XP but in my attempt, i encountered "blue screen error" on the process of loading the XP drivers. Since i've already formatted the hard drive in preparation for Windows XP installation, after i restarted the PC it says "no operating system has been found". So i reinstalled back the Windows Vista Starter.
It's quite a long time before i have solved the problem. I've encountered a site saying that the drive where the Windows Vista was pre-installed must be wiped out. Wiped out they mean is to totally erase all the information in the hard drive that formatting cannot do using software like kill_disk and dban.exe. But after i followed the instruction, the "blue screen error" on my Acer Aspire 4730z appears again.
Here are the steps in solving that problem with Acer Aspire 4730z:
1. Restart your computer.
2. During the boot up process, press F2 to enter set up.
3. If the setup utility is like mine, that is InsydeH20 Setup Utility Rev. 3.5, you can see the following options: Information; Main; Security; Boot; and Exit. (most if not all: Acer Aspire 4730z have they same BIOS utility)
4. Choose Main. Use down arroy key to choose SATA Mode.
5. Click Enter. Now you can see two options IDE and AHCI.
6. Change AHCI into IDE then press enter.
7. Now press F10 to Save and Exit the setup.
You are now ready to install your Windows XP Operating System. Hope the "blue screen error" won't appear anymore!
Enjoy the capability of your Acer Aspire 4730z with its new operating system - Windows XP. Have a good time!
