Factory restore my acer aspire one won't let me do a factory restore with the alt+f10 combination on starting up, and i don't have a disk drive to use the disc supplied any ideas would be appreciated

You can get a usb cd-rom drive.

Unlike other laptops, Acer laptops integrate a computer management utility called 'Acer eRecovery Management' to create backup of hard drive data, create restore point, reinstall applications & drivers, and reset Acer laptop to factory setting.

Step 1: Before starting your Acer laptop, ensure that there is no external storage device attached to it. Now start your laptop.

Step 2: Press 'Alt + F10' when the laptop starts booting, and wait for a moment while Windows loads the reset files.

Step 3: When 'Acer eRecovery Management' window appears, select 'Restore System from factory default' and click 'Next' to continue.

Step 4: Again click 'Next' to reset your Acer laptop. This process will erase all data from your hard disk and reset your Acer laptop to original factory settings.

Step 5: Click 'OK' in the notification window to begin the the resetting operation. Now wait while your Acer laptop is reset to factory settings.

Tips: You can also create a backup copy of your laptop data before factory reset. Simply click 'Backup' in 'Acer eRecovery Management' window.

If you have any other issue with your Acer laptop/desktop/Notebook, feel free to get technical assistance at http://www.vtechsquad.com/acer-support/

Acer needs to send you the recovery media. If your product is under warranty, this will be free. The CD's are capable of resoring the recovery partition to factory defaults. If out of warranty, borrow a Operating System CD from a friend who has the same Operating System, including the level, (Home, Pro, etc.). This CD can get your computer booted at least. I offer reloads from my site at computerserviceonline.com, but you will have to pay shipping both ways, and it will need to be insured both ways. I want $60 for the reload.
