How to unlock the Acquire Hardware achievement in Minecraft: Edition - Definitive Guide
Firstly you need wood for a pickaxe. Next you'll need to mine down at an angle until you get to stone, Use this stone to create a furnace (8 Cobblestone. Found in the crafting table menu). Now you want to mine into your mine until you find a version of stone with pink pixel on it. This is Iron which can only be mined with a stone pickaxe
Now to smelt the Iron you need either Coal, Charcoal or logs. If you found coal while looking for Iron put it on the bottom section of the furnace, if not then Charcoal can be made by smelting wooden logs with wooden logs or to completely bypass that section just smelt the iron with the logs.
Take the ingot out of the furnace and you should unlock the achievement

Have you tried loading up a brand new world in survival? If a world has been loaded in and saved in creative mode once then achievements are disabled for that world. So try just loading up a new world and smelting some ore.
If that doesn't work then create a new thread in the forums and see if anyone else has come across the bug and found a fix for it.

For this achievement, you will need some coal and at least 1 iron ore.
These both can be found anywhere underground. Coal looks like a stone block with blacks spots in it, iron ore looks like a stone block with brown spots in it.
Dig around until you find some of each, then return to your furnace. Place the iron in the top square and the coal in the top square and then wait for it to do the work.
Note: you may want to take multiple stone pickaxes with you as they break fairly easily. It is also worth taking some sticks, that way you can create some torches as soon as you find some coal.

To get an iron ingot, you will need to a stone pickaxe and to start mining. Eventually you will find a new ore called Iron Ore, the game shall notify you when you come across this element. Mine the Iron Ore using your pickaxe and then smelt it in a furnace to create an iron ingot.
