Has it got another OS on it? Did it come with another OS? Why are you putting XP on it? How old is the laptop?

It sounds like the classic XP/AHCI issue. Go into the bios and change AHCI to IDE. They might be labeled a little differently. For example, AHCI might be labeled SATA and IDE might be ATA or legacy.

I also seem to recall that some Acer models don't show this option until you set a bios password. If you don't see the option anywhere, try that.

What graphics card have you got? Or is it integrated graphics?

It actually was what FALCON said , it was a classic ACHI issue, however you seemed to have install XP in your laptop.
Now u mention, u are looking for a VGA drivers, there is no easy way for anyway to give you advice in this matter.
However download this tool from here:

Run the program. it will give out the list of hardware your laptop consists of, give the Chipset model number and not the namem of the laptop, from there i can re-direct you to the correct VGA drivers to be downloaded.

Can you get Windows 7 or 8 drivers for your laptop?
