process may take several minutes, and may restart your computer.
Returning your system to its factory condition
If your computer experiences problems that are not recoverable by other
methods, you may need to reinstall everything to return your system to its
factory condition. You can reinstall using either your hard drive or the recovery
backup you have created.
Warning: This complete recovery deletes everything on your hard
drive, then reinstalls Windows and all software and drivers that
were pre-installed on your system. If you can access important
files on your hard drive, back them up now.
If you can still run Windows, see "Recovering from within Windows" on page
23.
If you cannot run Windows and your original hard drive is still working, see
"Recovering from the hard drive during startup" on page 24.
If you cannot run Windows and your original hard drive has been completely re-
formatted or you have installed a replacement hard drive, see "Recovering from
your recovery backup" on page 24.
Recovering from within Windows
To reinstall Windows and all pre-installed software and drivers:
Click Start > All Programs > Acer, then click Acer eRecovery Management.
Click the Restore tab, then Restore Operating System to Factory Defaults to
open the Confirm Restoration dialog box.
Click Yes, then Start. A dialog box will display information about the hard drive
that the operating system will be recovered to.
Warning: Continuing the process will erase all files on your hard
drive.
Click OK. The recovery process begins by restarting your computer, then
continues by copying files to your hard drive. This process may take a while, the
Acer eRecovery Management screen displays the progress.
When the recovery has finished, a dialog box prompts you to restart your
computer.
