I got my Acer ES1-131 around 3 days back. It came with what I assume to be basic Linux. Anyways, I'd always planned to get the RAM upgraded to 4GB (the problem for that is in a seperate post) and install Win 7 or Win 10 on it. However, as my RAM upgrading plan has got stuck, I decided it would be better to install Win XP on it for a few days (until I can know if I can do the RAM upgrade). I had a copy of my Win XP disc on a portable HDD which I copied to a 8GB pendrive. After plugging the pendrive into the laptop, I entered BIOS mode and changed the boot order so that the first booting device was the pendrive. However, after the restart, instead of the Win XP installation starting, I get an error message which says "NO BOOTMGR FOUND, PRESS CRTL+ALT+DEL TO RESTART". However, even pressing those keys did not restart the laptop. I had to manually shut down the laptop. I did reattempt this process, but exactly the same thing happened. Why is this happening and is there a way to rectify this (and install Win XP) on my laptop??
