@cooper:

Which model Acer Travelmate as we have had the 290 working here for a couple of years.

Yes, we have lots here. The only thing is you often need to install some drivers manually after the build completes (unless you add them to build area).

 

Our latest ones are the TravelMate 5720/5730 series - they work fine as long as the hard disk mode is set to IDE and not SATA in the BIOS.

Got the Acer Tracelmate 5730

 

When building with the standard RM bulid disk i get

 

Testing the network connection

Directory already exists

No driver for autodetected network card

Checking for custom drivers

 

I have downloaded the driver for the acer support site and its a broadcom B57 driver this is included in the RM standard build disk.

 

So do i need to add another driver?

 

Thanks
