Hey everyone. I have an Acer Travelmate 8210 that I recently reformatted from Vista to XP Professional edition, and I've been having some trouble finding an ethernet driver for the OS. I found something on the Acer site that I think should work, but I'm a little hazy about what the instructions want me to do. They read as follows:
Quote:
1. Create an [IMAGE_ROOT]\$oem$\$1\Drivers\NIC directory if one does not already exist.

2. Copy all files from the PRO1000\WS03XP2K directory to the [IMAGE_ROOT]\$oem$\$1\Drivers\NIC directory.

3. Make the following changes to the .SIF file that is used for this image installation (located in the [IMAGE_ROOT]\I386\Templates directory):

[Unattended]
OemPreinstall = yes
OemPnpDriversPath = \Drivers\Nic

4. Copy all .SYS files from PRO1000\WS03XP2K directory to the [IMAGE_ROOT]\i386 directory. Do NOT copy the INF files to this directory.

5. Extract the .INF files from PRO1000\WS03XP2K\RIS_INF\E1000325.ZIP and E1E5132.zip to the [IMAGE_ROOT]\i386 directory.

6. Restart the Remote Installation Service.

7. Follow the rest of the Microsoft instructions for adding a new network driver to the RIS installation.
I'm not particularly techno-savvy, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should be able to download the driver from the acer site, unzip it and run the setup file.
