In my country (Brazil) you could go to the shop
before 7 days passed after you bought this *%$$@  and
change for a TRUE notebook   HP, Asus, toshiba, LG..  with no 
questions asked...


I think that ACER makes their hardware to work only for windows vista
and works very bad indeed...
please stay away from those #%###
I do not see any good thing in ACER.
1) they do not care about customers,
2) the main board is stripped down to a minimum
3) the bios is unique  totally out of any convension and
always buggy
4) the battery has fewer cells...
5) the wireless is poor...

Only the price is good... but compare it with a good notebook,
you will see that those 200 dollars less that you pay for an acer
is TOO expensive... 
Even using windows,  you will spend that more by the time you

will need an  anti-virus + an office pack...

In 6 more months, acer will drop down that line and you will
not find any replacement part of it... Like many things done
in asia, it is only a toy
Want a good notebook??? buy an apple book... in an apple
store you can buy a good one for about 1200 dollars
13 inches, dual core, 1gb of memory 120gb of disk
everything works... even Leopard

Good diagnosis. I changed the motherboard (to Asus), and now it works!

Did you try creating a raid array first?

Most raid controllers will operate in RAID or pass through mode.  
Choose the mode you want, and create an array if you want before 
trying the install.

I tried today. With the same punishment...
