Re: Acer e1 510 linux model boot problem
Did anyone successful install Windows 7 on this notebook? I make Win7 UEFI instalation USB, but I still cannot install Win7. Any idea? It seems that Acer blocked Win7?!

Acer-Blayn has posted additional information here: http://community.acer.com/t5/Notebooks-Netbooks/Aspire-E1-510-Windwos-7/m-p/235060#M38693
As Blayn mentions, there appears to be hardware limitations to installing Windows 7. Acer does not specifically block software from being installed.
Thank you very much for all your help and information ...
I was follow this tutorial (hxxp://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/15458-uefi-bootable-usb-flash-drive-create-windows.html) and make UEFI bootable USB drive with integrated Win7 x64 installation. I regulary see USB drive, and Win7 start with installation. BUT, when instalation try to load DISK.SYS file, install fails.
Do you have any solutions for this problem. Many users just still want to use Win7. With similar "trick", I successfully install Win7x64 in UEFI mode.
Thanks in advanced.
