How the see if ACPI is enabled on a 600m
In another thread I asked for some help on a problem with XP detecting the battery after a re-installation, and there it was suggested to check for ACPI is enabled, but I can't find any such setting in the BIOS version A16. On the power management page (page 6/7) I don't see any ACPI or Plug&Play OS.

Thanks

The only way you can have ACPI enabled it is to reinstall XP!

ACPI doesn't show up in the device manager.
I checked with my desktop, and there they show up.

I understand that I have to reinstall XP, but how do I make sure it installs ACPI next time since I can't find any settings in the BIOS. I don't really want to spend another 1/2 day installing it brefore I know why it didn't detect the ACPI.
Anyone knows which setting in the BIOS v A16 on a 600m I need to look at to make sure ACPI is enabled?
Thanks

you shouldn't normally need to bother with an ACPI compliant bios!

Fixed.
Seems like Windows ( or I ) had a bad day when I re-installed it the first time. Today I decided to simply just ty and install it again, since I wasn't able to find and ACPI settings in the BIOS, and this time windows detected it correct. So now after spending a couple of hourse installing drives and everything, everything is back to 'normal'.
