where did you get the version of XP that you're trying to use? why are you trying to use a flash drive? why are you wanting to downgrade?

dsenette, the Revo doesnt have a CD-ROM.

Did the machine come with XP? If so, I would advise you to contact Acer to get a copy of your OS disc. Then, you can use something like bartpe to dump the XP image off the disc and create a bootable flash drive to reinstall XP.

If you choose to go this route, please let me know and I will link to the appropriate resources.

yeah the part of contacking acer support yea they going to say "is it regersted,whats your credit card number" yea im not rich im only 15 i dont have 600 dollars on me like that

[diabillic]

They dont ask for your credit card number...

Have them ship you the OS, create a bootable flash drive with it on another machine. Thats pretty much your only way to send it back to XP.

[dsenette]

could you please actually type out a full sentence...it's really difficult to know what you're asking when it's just in little bursts of nonsense

the computer came with XP on it and you installed 7 and now you're wanting to remove 7 and install XP? is that the right answer?

[Aero A95]

Yes. But im going to try to intstall win 2k on a flash drive (8 gig) from my laptop then run it on my acer r1600 the install windows xp
