Now after the conversion, I keep getting prompted to insert my XP CD, it keeps looking for at least this file : acpiec.sys - where can I find this and now manually install it?
This means that windows requires this driver to support ACPI hardware properly,
and on your system it was not found in drivers cache. This may happen if you've
used some kind of "cleanup" utility that alters driver cache.
To fix that - you need to insert Windows installation CD and point driver
installer to its location.
