Acer eRecovery Management
Acer eRecovery Management is a powerful utility with the need for recovery disks provided by the manufacturer.
The Acer eRecovery Management utility occupies space in a hidden partition on the system’s HDD. User-created
backups are stored on D:\ drive. Acer eRecovery Management provides:
• Password protection
• Recovery of applications and drives
• Image or data backup:
•
Backup to HDD (set recovery point)
• Backup to CD or DVD
• Image or data recovery tools:
•
Recovery from a hidden partition (factory defaults)
• Recovery from the HDD (most recent user-defined recovery point)
• Recovery from CD or DVD
Note: If the computer did not come with a Recovery CD or System CD, please use Acer eRecovery
Management’s “System backup to optical disk” feature to burn a backup image to CD or DVD. To ensure the
best results when recovering the system using a CD or Acer eRecovery Management, detach all peripherals
(except external Acer ODD, if equipped), including the Acer ezDock.
