How do I create disc for Acer aspire 5560 notebook they recovery disc

hi How to reinstall the Operating system on your computer Select models, with Microsoft Windows, have the ability to have the Operating System reinstalled from a hidden partition built into the computer. Note: During the process, all data stored on your computer will be overwritten. This means all your files, such as email and photos, will be erased. Therefore, we recommend making a backup of all personal data before starting the recovery process. To start the system recovery: 1.Restart the computer. 2.When the Acer logo appears on the screen, press the Alt and F10 keys repeatedly. 3.If you are prompted with a Microsoft Windows boot screen, press the Enter key. 4.After the system recovery application has loaded, follow the prompts to reinstall the Operating System. If the ability to reinstall from the previous method is not available or fails, recovery of the Operating System will need to be from Recovery Media. If you do not have a set of Acer Recovery Media, you may purchase the set online from the Acer Recovery Media Order Form.. Note: If your computer does not have an internal optical disc drive, an external optical disc drive will be required in order to recover the Operating System using Acer Recovery Media. 1.Restart the computer. 2.When the Acer logo appears on the screen, press the F12 key repeatedly to enter the computer's Boot Menu. 3.Press the CD-ROM drive eject button and insert the disc labeled System CD. 4.Close the CD-ROM tray. 5.Refer to on screen instructions to select either CDROM or USB CDROM. 6.The computer will boot from the Acer Recovery Media 7.When prompted for the Recovery CD, remove the System CD and insert the Recovery CD. Note: If there are multiple Recovery CDs, please insert the first of the Recovery CDs. 8.After the system recovery application has loaded, follow the prompts to reinstall the Operating System. Note: if your computer is unable to run the Acer Recovery process, or errors occur during recovery, please contact Acer support. Please take time to rate me

Desktop doesn't appear on the computer.

hi there, The error 0xC0000005 is generated by an illegal "memory access violation". This can be caused by anything from faulty RAM, an incorrect/corrupt device driver, poorly written/updated software and more commonly under Windows XP Service pack 2, malware/adware installations.

i would suggest that the ram in your computer has possibly broken down over a period, may i recommend obtaining some new ram, if you go to www.crucial.com they can provide you with information that tells you which ram you have in your PC.

I put in a blu ray disc but it is not playing in

Unless the drive in your laptop is a blu-ray drive, it won't recognize a blu-ray disc. A blu-ray drive can recognize and play a regular DVD, but it doesn't work the other way around.

If your computer is indeed fitted with a blu-ray drive, the laser lens may need cleaning. On a laptop, you usually have clear access to the lens with the tray open, so you can try cleaning it with a cotton swab moistened with lens cleaner. Or the disc itself may have a problem. Try another disc and see if the trouble continues.

If the computer doesn't have a blu-ray drive and you will frequently want to play blu-ray discs, get a USB external blu-ray drive. It's easier to find one of those than to locate a suitable blu-ray replacement drive for a laptop. There are many variations of drives used in laptops, but an external drive will always be compatible. And you'll be able to use it with other computers not blu-ray equipped.

If the acer 5532 has a microphone - where is it

Hi there.

The 5532 should have a microphone as it has a webcam in it. If not there is a microphone jack at the left side of it.

If you want to test your microphone there is an application called sound recorder. It is located in Start - all programs - accessories.

You can change the properties for the microphone if you right click on your speaker icon at the bottom right of your task bar (bottom right of the screen) and click on recording devices. This is assuming your computer has Windows 7 which I think it does. In this screen it will show all connected devices you can use for recording.

A recording application you can try is called Audacity. You will need to google it. It is a music recording program that is free. It isn't the easiest to use though. If you want to record live music you can use the sound recorder to record it as well.

If you have any other questions leave a comment and I can get back to you.

BLU RAY TROUBLE

From what I have researched, your laptop should have come with software to play Blu ray - such as Intervideo WinDVD BR

The software is not available to the public and only comes with such laptops and blu ray drives.

Hope I have helped
