Question, would a good dvd factory default dvd, restore to any other HDD than the one with the hidden partition (HDD) from Acer. You dont have to answer......I'll just try it. Thanks for your help.

TooTech All looking good, made 2 copies of single (default restore) dvd this time, thanks for help.

I sincerely THANK YOU I did not dare attempt a factory default restore without the dvd's Acer insist you make, I thought I would kill the lot, until you informed me of your knowledge. I did not know you could do it, just from the hidden partition. they (Acer) insist you make those disks, so much. Thank you again. Looking good just waiting for the 14 Acer launch tools to install ( quickly unpluged internet, just incase) Really pleased. Cheers

Is one beep normal for your pc when it was working? can you remember? If its getting up to asking for "boot in safe mode" etc then maybe it's past POST (power on self test) but not always so. One beep can mean no PG (power good) signal from the power supply, can also mean dirty/faulty ram chip, do you know what bios you have, award? ami? You say you have no xp install disk, can you lend one? or better still something like a powersuite 2008 boot cd you have another pc with internet access, can it burn an iso cd. not that you should ever use a peer to peer download network but you could download a real copy of powersuite or try to lend one. or lend an xp home or xp pro install cd (which ever you are using) to run system recovery. with no boot cd at all, ur a little stuck.

Hi All, Newbie so Hi again.... Can someone help please as I'm running around in circles. Have an AcerPower Desktop F6 running XP pro from new. I made some "restore to factory defualts" dvd's some time ago, went to use them but checked them first - they are corrupt. Went to make some new one's from the Acer Empowering software " erecovery " and that won't run either. Went to acer website and can find driver downloads for acerpower f6 for xp but can only find empowering software for Vista, tried that, made things alot worse. Acer Europe - Service & Support, Drivers & Utilities, Downloads, Desktop, Acer Power F6 Anyone know where I can download the correct acer empowering utilities for acerpower f6 for xp pro please............................:confused: or should the vista empowering software of worked and i did something wrong?

just wanted to say hi, before posting any questions :)
