  • Anonymous Jun 28, 2012

    here are the additional details that seem to have not posted the first time...............I was in the process of restoring my laptop, and it lost power and has been in this loop since....the recovery CDs no longer work, is there anything that can be done or do I have to buy a new hard drive? and will a HD do the trick?

Because of the power interuption the recovery partition has been corrupted, the hard drive will need to be formatted to use the recovery discs. Go to www.acer.com contact customer support and the technical department for additional help, they have one of the best support programs available.

It might also means that your hard drive is not working properly. My laptop's hard drive went out making the same blipping sound and white screen after that, this happens some times for over heating. Now if you get a error number let us know it might help

Using the Windows installation cd. Boot the system with the CD in the drive. When given the option select the repair option. This should correct the issue. Hope this helps & please remember to rate my answer. Thanks.

You will need an original windows installation disc and not a recovery disc. If you do not have one, then you have the option of taking to a shop that does and have them run the repair utility. Or, if you can find someone who has burned a copy of the windows ultimate boot disc, that will also help in repairing the boot manager and files.

Sometimes updates can cause problems with the OS and thus using the Repair potion of the Operating System Disc is necessary. You may have re-install the operating system again. The problem, if you did not back up the drive, you will loose all data and programs.

My acer aspire 3690 wont start up on reboot cuts out and restarts error msg reads WINDOWS FAILED TO START ,A RECENT HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE CHANGE MIGHT BE THE CAUSE ,on launch repair i enter it but keeps...

Windows has a way to tell if something has been changed. It is ok with changing cd and dvd drives, and other non-essential hardware, but some things cause a real problem. If you change the video card too many times it does not like it. If you put your old hard drive in a new computer it does not like it. If you put a new CPU (brain) in your old computer it does not like it. The message you are getting will not go away with a repair. My suggestion is to put it back like it was before you got the message. If you can't put it back, most likely you will need to reinstall Windows with your current setup. Hopefully you have a backup of your files, along with the installation media and cd-keys.

Try to boot in safe mode. From a cold boot, hit f8 till it gives you several options including "safe mode". Do that and if you can boot to windows let it do it's stuff before restarting normally. Good luck
