Bluetooth not working on acer aspire 5738
It's probably because there's no bluetooth module installed - the 5738 has a bluetooth switch but no hardware. Check the specs of your laptop & I'll bet you won't see bluetooth mentioned.

If you do not have a white sticker on your laptop with" Bluetooth" stated your machine does not have one, only the ability to run one once installed, check the acer website for details, downloading lots of drivers will not work if you have no module installed, most do not.

First of all check if your Laptop has the bluetooth feature. If it has then the driver should have been automatically installed. There is a button in your laptop, make sure that the bluetooth is on.
Thanks

Yes! you can install and run XP OS. Please remember the manufacturers of the VGA, sound, LAN etc of your laptop as you will be needing them to search for drivers later. Follow the link below to download appropriate drivers preferably before you install XP.

Yes you can, good choice. one thing the comment above me didnt mentioned was that you need to change the settings on your disk in BIOS to native IDE and not sata.(if sata the windows installation doesent find your DISKS.) good luck
