I made a Windows XP sata install floppy for the acer extensa 5420 SATA driver (ati smbus)
with the inf & cat file from the driver package and i renamed the org. pciide.sys to SMBUSati.sys.
Run the XP setup cd, press F6 in the beginning and load the floppy
It worked for me
it can be download from:

After a XP installation use the wireless driver "Wireless_BCM4312_v4.170.25.12_XP_x32" from bergfiles.com :
it can also be download from:

the Acer drivers did not start the wireless configuration
greetings
