My Acer Laptop (Netbook) crashed. I need the original discs to reboot it using "r". However I don't have the original dics. I don't know that it came with any or not. I bought the PC from a friend and was given no dics, also this little notebook has no disc drives. I have my own external disc drive I can use if I can get the discs.
1 year old post and answer by jose. (wrong)
10 year old laptop today.
no symptoms posted, at all, dead? if dead test the HDD first.
no OS disk made can run on bad HDD. not one, so HDD testing is first. ask how.
acer does not sell THOSE discs after PC is 3 years old.
if you asked them first. they'd have said that.
that be best , after all acer.com is Acer, and fixya is not.
we do not sell disks here, or software of any kind nor PARTS.

Hi, you can try the following process:
RESTORE COMPUTER TO ITS ORIGINAL SETTINGS WITHOUT RECOVERY CDs
This process will restore the c:drive with the original software that is installed when youpurchase your netbook. follow the steps to rebuild the c:drive which will be reformatted.
Check the BIOS settings
-Make sure the acer d2d (disk to disk) recover setting in MAIN is ENABLED
-Exit the BIOS and save changes. the system will reboot.
- Activate the BIOS by pressing the F2 key as your computer starts up.
TO START THE RECOVERY PROCESS (here's where it didn't do anything)
-Start the system
-While the acer logo is showing, press alt and f10 at the same time to enter the recovery process.
-Refer to the onscreen instructions to perform system recovery

Just reinstall the OS again. When you don't need to save any data, just turn on your laptop and boot into the bios.
When you don't know how to get there look at the scrren during boot up and it will tell you which button you have to press. Can be F2, DEL or even another button. When you are in the Bios, just look around until you find boot priorities and change your boot priority to CD/DVD first followed by the HDD, save and exit. Insert your OS and when it ask you to boot from CCD/DVD hit any key on your keyboard and follow the installation instructions

Before you start you will need the following:
1. Download & Run WinSetupFrom USB-0.1.1.
2. Complete the setup. The program will start automatically once you have finished.
3. Plug your pen drive into the computer and backup anything important from it as we are going to format it.
4. In the WinSetupFromUSB-0.1.1 window: click Refresh next the USB selection box. The USB pen you have just plugged in should now be visible in the drop down menu. Select it.
5. Insert your XP CD or mount an XP CD Image.
6. In the WinSetupFromUSB-0.1.1 window: click Browse, next to the Windows 2000/XP/2003 Source box, and navigate to the location of the XP Install CD.
7. Now click the PE2USB button.
8. Now Tick the Enable Disk Format box under Format Options and Tick Quick Format and Enable LBA (FAT16X). Also make sure that Enable File Copy is not ticked.
9. Click Start. Click Yes when the pop up asks if you wish to continue. Click Yes again when the pop up asks you if you are sure you wish to continue. When you get the Completed successfully message click OK and close PEtoUSB.
10. In the WinSetupFromUSB-0.1.1 window: Click GO. The Program will now create a bootable windows XP install on your USB pen drive.
11. Click agree to the “SYSINTERNALS SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS” pop up.
12. Click OK to the “This is Important” pop up.
13. The creation process is now complete: Take the newly formatted USB Pen and place it in the USB port of the target computer and turn it on.
NOTE: You must now read carefully what pops up on the screen as it will provide you with the hot-key (keyboard shortcut key) that, when pressed, triggers access to the BIOS. It is usually something like F1, F2, Delete or Escape.
14. Navigate the BIOS with the keyboard and find the section that contains your boot devices. With your USB drive plugged in, the USB drive should be listed. If it isn’t, your system might not support booting from USB.
15. Assuming that it is supported (as is the case with virtually all modern hardware), promote your USB drive to the primary boot device.
16. Exit from the BIOS configuration, saving all changes.
17. The computer will now reboot. Assuming that you have successfully compiled the bootable USB XP install and that you have successfully selected the USB device to be booted first in the bios a screen should appear which reads Windows 2000/XP/2003 Setup – First and Second Parts . Press Enter. You will now be presented with 2 options. Select Option 1 (first part) for the first stage of the installation process.
18. When the first stage setup completes and system reboots select Windows 2000/XP/2003 Setup – First and Second Parts, then Option 2 (second part) for the second stage of the setup.
DO NOT REMOVE THE USB PEN FROM USB PORT UNTIL YOU SEE THE WINDOWS START MENU
