Restoring Windows operating system to Acer mini.

Hi I would like to request a how to guide on how to recover the operating system as delivered with the Acer One Mini. Therre is no cd drive to insert CD or DVD. Also I cannot find the ACER ONE recovery files. I deally I would ;like to download from internet and install doirectly to the comp.

Thanks,

My system has been down for 2 months it is impossible to find information about this.

 

JPS,

I have the same problem -- no external drive to create setup (recovery) disks from my Aspire One. This post has not been answered by anyone, but it's been a few months since you posted it, and I was wondering if you ever got an answer to this from any other source.

Thanks,

I've been meaning to get into doing this as a how-to guide. It's actually pretty straight-forward, so it's near the bottom of the to-do pile atm.

When your AAO is booting, look at the bottom of the splash screen. It states which F-key to press to enter system recovery.

The reason you cannot find the recovery files is because the recovery image is held in a hidden partition.

P.S there is also a forum dedicated to System recovery for Windows users here
