We got it via Intels page, becaus it is a Intel chip. It whas a bit tricky to find the XP drivers, but aventualy we got it. Then you have to make a disk with the drivers, or slipstream it. Best of luck.

Hello everyone. I and my colleague are trying to install win XP on his new Acer 7720G notebook, whitch comes preinstalled with Vista. With the help of nlite we have been able to integrate the S-ATA drivers on the win XP install disk. The install goes smooth but after the last reboot, just before XP should start we get a "fake" bluescreen thath stays for less then a second, then it reeboots. We have also tested to have the S-ATA drivers on a diskette with a USB diskette drive, and manualy install the S-ATA drivers (press F6 i the beginning). Whith this alternetive we only get half the way i the first file copying session, then it says thath it can´t find the S-ATA drive (witch we loaded in the beginning), and we hav no option to direct it to the diskette drive. When we run the install with out trying to add S-ATA drivers the XP install naturaly don´t finde the hard drives. We have read on a other post thath you should disable the "native S-ATA support" in the BIOS, but this opption is not avaliable on this model. We are grateful for any assistanse or help of any kind thath would be of intrest to this problem.
