ACPI compliant error while trying to install Windows 7 on DELL inspiron 15R N5110
Hi,
I've really installed Widnows 7 ultimate 64 bit on many brands of laptops, but when I've installed it on
Inspiron 15R N5110,(core i5 and 4GBRAM). I faced an error starting windows 7 after finishing installation.
NOTE: When the installation finished and my computer restarted, this windows showed to me.
Either options from the two options above I chose, I ended up with the blue screen such :
That blue screen error said something such
'BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant. please contact your system vendor for an updated BIOS' I don't know what this means and I don't know where is culprit.
I wish that I could capture that screen error. However, it is impossible to do because I was not the Windows environment.
Even if the error related to BIOS needed to updated, then how could I update it as long as the windows didn't start.
IS there something which should be setup in the BIOS before installing Widnows 7 on Dell laptops.
I am quite surprised that the previous system was windows 7, but it was Home premium.
The most strange thing is when I tried booting to repair disc and even to Windows instillation disc to fix startup problems, I found that startup repair couldn't repair the problems.
When I have tried doing these steps:
- Insert your Windows XP CD-ROM into the computer's CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive, and then restart your computer from the CD-ROM.
Note Some computers may require that you modify the basic input/output system (BIOS) settings before you can start the computer from a CD-ROM. For information about how to modify BIOS, see your computer documentation.
- When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start Recovery Console.
- If your computer is configured for dual booting or multiple booting, select the relevant Windows XP installation.
- When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password, and then press ENTER.
Note By default, the administrator password is blank in Windows XP Home Edition.
- By default, Hiberfil.sys is typically located in the root directory (C:\). At the command prompt, type del hiberfil.sys, and then press ENTER.
- Restart the computer.
When I reached to 'System Recovery options, I saw that my system was listed, then I chose next, but I ended up with that
'this version of 'system recovery options' is not compatible with the windows version which you are trying to fix. Try to use another recovery disc compatible with this version of windows' , although I am sure that this the same windows installation disc I installed from.
NOTE: I didn't add any RAM or any other devices. There was a windows 7 home premium and I have only re installed a windows 7 ultimate 64bit . I really don't know which version the previous windows 7 was '32 or 64bit.
I've checked dell forum and I found ' turn on your computer press F2 goto your BIOS
Than goto Advance Select ATA Instead Of AHCPI Save the setting then try to reboot Your Win 7
hope this will work .'
But it didn't find AHCPI, but I found AHCI and let ATA be instead of AHCI, but no difference happened.

Could you please help me with insalling a windows 7 any versions of my Dell laptop, the same error keeps showing me even when I updated the BIOS to the latest version by using N5110A11 and now BIOS version is 'A11'
In this case, it is impossible to install any Windows 7 on a dell laptop, I've never ever faced such a problem with other laptop's brands.
