Hi, I need some information/help about 64-bit to 32-bit OS downgrade.
A friend of mine gave his netbook (Acer Aspire AOHAPPY [that's what it said]) and ask if I could clean up his netbook and reinstall the OS.
So, I backed up all of his files, researched all the drivers, readied my installation flash drives, and I was set.
From browsing Intel's page about the Atom, I notice that it supports 64-bit architecture and decided to install the 64-bit OS.
After installation, and every important piece was installed, I returned it to my friend, but returned after 3 days, saying it was "too slow" (like Starter, he said), and asked if I could clean it again.
Wanting to slap myself afterwards, because I remembered it only has 1GB of RAM, which would obviously bottleneck in a 64-bit machine.
So, rinse and repeat, I tried again, only this time, with a 32-bit OS at hand.
After the few steps, installation gave me an error message after the "Copying files" step (like something was corrupted, etc.) and cannot proceed.
Though did tried through command prompt to manually clean the drive, but it prevents me because the partition contains the pagefile, etc.
Any help or suggested is appreciated
