Hi there
what Acer laptop are you using

I've installed W8 X-64 --currently Enterprise R8 RTM from TechNet on two different Acer models -- no problem - I'm currently using an ACER Aspire V5 -171 (the small 11.7 inch one - brilliant for travelling - decent enough resolution so Photoshop etc can run, Fast USB3 port, HDMI output, intel HD graphics) and cheaper than some tablets. !!! The I3 processor is sufficient for a mobile laptop giving adequate performance and decent battery life and with 8GB RAM and an SSD it makes many desktops seem slow)

The W7 USB3 driver needs updating -- Windows 8 USB3 driver from Ms installs automatically. Otherwise use any drivers that need to be installed from the ACER site --the W7 ones all work apart from the USB3 driver. You'll probably need your LAN / wireless driver, the Intel high speed storage driver and the Card reader then everything is fine.

The UK Acer site seems OK for drivers.

Download

Cheers

Meaning you can't get into the BIOS? Pressing F2 repeatedly in boot gets to the BIOS in my ACER. Try F2, F8, F10, F11, F12, or DEL. Those are the most common BIOS keys.

Funnily enough, I suffer from the same thing.

My old Acer AS5735 LOVES the 32-bit CP, which it is currently running.

However, every attempt to install the 32-bit RP met with the same issue that you have.

Supposedly the CPU isn't 'compatible'.

Although, strangely enough, the 64-bit RP installs and runs just fine....go figure.
