Hey, i got the acer aspire SA80, and i have Phoenix Technologies, LTD R01-B1 10/15/2005 BIOS, where can i get an update for this? Its just that i cant boot from CD, im trying to install Vista Ultimate but when i select my dvd drive it pretty much just skips it. it would boot my old not working anymore IDE dvd drive, but i got a new SATA one, so i thought a bios update would fix this...

thanks

According to Acer's website, you already have the latest BIOS installed on your computer.

Does the drive correctly read the disc within Windows?

On my gateway laptop which also has a Pheonix bios what i have to do is arrow over to boot. Then use the - key to lower the item that is at the top of the list. If u have this option just do this until cd/dvd is on top of everything else. Good luck
