WILL NOT LOAD IN WINDOWS VISTA

If it truly needs a driver then install patin-couffin It will bypass all that windows uses now and accurately talk between drives and the dvd-rom. But it sounds to me that your dvd-rom just failed. You never know when they are going to go

Windows 7 is not a supported system, but you can use the drivers from the vista system, but only the 32 bit.

Turn on or restart your computer and watch for a message during the post about a particular key, usually Del or F2, that you'll need to press to ...enter SETUP. Press this key as soon as you see the message.

After the post, BIOS will attempt to boot from the first device listed in the boot order.You need to change that, so the first boot device in the list is the dvd drive. If that device is not bootable, BIOS will attempt to boot from the second device listed, and so on.

Note: The boot order is a BIOS setting so it's OS independent. In other words, it doesn't matter if you have Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Linux, or any other PC operating system on your hard drive or other bootable device, these boot sequence change instructions will still apply.

Here is how you do this:

But ofcourse there could be a problem with the dvd drive or harddrive.

To install windows 7, you will need at least 1 gb ram or more, and a dual core cpu.

Best of luck

ununstall CapWiz reboot then reinstall CapWiz and drivers

your CD-ROM/DVD-ROMs require no drivers   install Nero and see if it works  if not  check the wiring  if it has IDE cables make sure the jumpers are correct for the situation  make sure they are 80 pin cables not 40 pin and that the poer is plugged into the drives  sometimes if Patin-couffin is installed it may fix things

The "VSO Devices" category belongs to VSO Software, they make DVD "Back-Up" software and their Patin Couffin engine is widely used by other like-minded software houses.

patin couffin engine is the correct spelling....it is a device driver. It is used for burning DVD's.

You will get to a point in Vista set up where it asks you what drive/partition you want to install to. Obviously the window which should contain the drive information is empty because Vista can't see the hard drive yet. At the bottom of this windows there's a "Load Drivers" button. Make sure your XFX motherboard CD is in the dvd drive then click the Load Drivers button. Now you should be able to browse the CD. The SATA drivers will either be in a folder called RAID or a floder called SATA. Just click on the correct folder containing the drivers and click OK. Vista should now load the SATA drivers and your drive/s will appear in the window.

If this doesn't work then I suggest you register on XFX's website and go to the support section and download the driver from there:

"Is this what is causing the "finalizing" to not complete the burn?" ... Almost certainly yes. You need to update/reinitialize your Patin Couffin engine device drivers(s).

1. Download the stand-alone installation package.
2. After download is complete, close all other applications, then run it.
3. Restart (reboot) your system.
4. Test by re-performing the same procedure(s) which previously failed and generated the error dialog (pop-up).

try to run again the system restore cd, what OS you are using? is it old or new acer laptop?
if you have new laptop with Vista OS it should be ok.
if you have new laptop design for vista but rather installed XP maybe you will encounter difficulties loading drivers if you dont have xp driver cd (acer provided)
if you have old laptop with XP OS it should be ok.
if you have old laptop w/ lower memory and trying to install Vista it will not work or you will incounter difficulties
