Dear All,
Terima kasih atas respon2nya. rupanya memang benar Acer Aspire 4720 ini
adalah builtin SATA. Saya sudah mencoba beberapa cara:

1. memakai floppy, driver SATA dari CD ataupun dari official websitenya
(bukan persis model laptopnya)
2. pake nlite untuk menambah driver di instalasi windows xp nya.

namun kedua cara tersebut sama2 menghasilkan blue screen di step intalasinya
: "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent
damag to your computer. bla bla bla"

Saya coba browsing dan tidak satupun driver ditemukan untuk windows xp untuk
model ini, yg ada hanya untuk vista. saya coba paksaiin untuk memasang
driver untuk seri dibawahnya (4710 ataupun diatasnya 5000 cmiiw). namun
hasilnya tetep tidak bisa.

Saya dapat di forum

"Ha! Ha! You've been asking this for three days...!?

Sorry for laughing. Actually I've been facing the same problem for three
days.

I've just discovered what actually the problem is. Aspire 4270 uses SATA
hardisk but it's not supported by Win XP installer and Acer hasn't supplied
the drivers in the BIOS or something like that. That's why the hardisk is
detected in the BIOS but Win XP installer will give you message; no
recognise disk.

I've took out the hardisk and using it as external hardisk via USB. Win XP
installer detected the hardisk but still couldn't install the OS. Then I
found this forum. ;)

'bambamitsdead' and 'singchi' are correct. Unfortunately I couldn't find the
drivers from Acer's website. I'm not sure wether it's in the CD that comes
in the package because I'm helping my friend and he don't give me any CD. Is
there any CD that we can use?"


Adakah yg bisa membantu lagi?
