I have now suceeded to install Windows 7 so as promised here is a full guide of what I had to do.įirst build a 4gb USB stick with a boot sector and the windows 7 install files.
Are you using the little white one that comes with the machine? I know it had some sticky paper stuff all over it which might interfere with the key presses. Lastly, I cant answer your question about the keyboard as i did not have that problem.
Just go to the Acer website and register your revo's serial number. On a side note you are as a valued Revo customer entitled to a free upgrade to win 7 when it is released in Oct. If you have not already formatted the recovery partition, i would recover the pc and upgrade OR install XP then upgrade. I have installed it on three machines so far, My Revo R3600L (Just upgraded from the pre-installed vista with no issues), My newly built main HTPC in the lounge (installed XP first because of the issue not booting), and my laptop (again upgraded from vista) I suspect it is this issue stopping you with the USB drive. I found after many, many, many burnt dvd's (even from the ISO MS provided me) that they just wont boot. I have tried two keyboards - same effect.įirst off, I feel your pain with the windows 7 install issue. On another point - when in setup the keyboard response is dreadful I have to hold a key down for a few seconds to get it to respond then release it smartish before the auto repeat kicks in - anyone else experienced this. Has any one any ideas? - I think I might write a cookbook guide once I get to a point where Windows is installing. If I reboot it comes up in to Linpus as if there is no boot on the usb, yet the usb is still first in the set-up. The system sits there flashing a cursor for as long as I care to leave it (10 minutes and more) This time I press f12 to select boot order - I know this should not be necessary but surprise surprise the boot order comes up with HDD first. I have entered setup (del) and changed the USB to be the first boot device and changed the USB to be HDD rather than Auto. I have read this thread and see that many people are having problems and I think I have extracted as many answers as possible. The stick was previously used to install XP on my Aspire One so I know it works. I have a usb stick which is bootable and has the windows 7 distribution on there. I have just bought a 2gb 160gb Revo r3600L and am trying to install windows 7.
