I have an Acer Aspire 5735z. I had windows Vista running on it and I got a virus that messed up my recovery files. So I wiped my Hard drive using UBCD From Usb Flash Drive. I have tried to install Windows xp back on my drive with no luck. Ever time I tried it would go to a blue screen and give me an error. I even tried to make an iso of the disk and install from my Flash drive. Still no luck. I would not like it if I have to get rid on my laptop but I think the hdd is fried. Took to a friend and they could not get it to install either and they repair pcs all the time. Can some one help me?
