Acer M3 581T: help restore of Windows 8

Hello!

I have an M3 581 T acer I bought a year ago. Now, windows crashed and said that there is a missing file. I am more able to boot the system, I tried the erecovery (alt f10) but just a product and said that it is not able to start. I have no cd/usb recovery at hand. It is my understanding that this ultrabook has two hard drives. An SSD on which is installed the operating system and a HARD disk with the other files.

What should I do to make it work again? I don't like if all my files are lost.

Sincere greetings.

Finally, I managed to do work, here's what I did for all those who have the same problem.

First I downloaded a disk bootable Windows 8.1 Microsoft Web page and put it on a USB key

I was not able to perform any repair or reset programs there since the HARD drive has been locked, but that I could enter CMD, I ran these commands:

Bootrec/fixMBR

Bootrec /fixBoot

Bootrec /rebuildBCD

I then restarted the computer and finally is gone in bios (F2) and restored the default values.

Once Windows started uppdate and starts correctly, none of my files were deleated in the process.

    I went to one of my FCPX library and deleted some files. Also, I took all my FCPX libraries and place them in a folder. Something tells me that it is a 'no-no' because after my FCPX started acting weird. Then when you restart my FCPX he stuck to "restore the window layout" and a gray screen. I found the support page for this particular problem, but I can't find 'library' in my menu 'go '. Can someone help me?

    I did a backup on 2 of vdv - that, once accomplished was reported as successful. Now, I have restored my laptop to factory settings since she was infected. When I use the Center backup and restore and Advanced Restore option - files from a backup made on a different computer - then the hard drive. He starts the backup asking if some files or all - I choose all files in the backup. It then proceeds...

    I got the c# edition installed with which came the SQl-whiel restore the backup of the ih said there is problem with the authorization of users for SQL 2 related records - I click on go come without affecting the rights of the user. In this case 2 times.

    In the meanwhiel, it shows a lot of files being restored in the progress bar. Then he gives erroe that the label of the disc in the drive is not 1 user-Pc-DateofBackup-disk name where as the disk name is the default name assigned when the backup is performed, which is the name of user-Pc-DateofBackup (may not be the suffix of disc 1).

    Then I choose the option ignore this and drive 2-, it gives the same error...

    When I check - I find a lot of files is restored, but they contain no data/files.

    Help, please.

    Here is an article on the restore procedure: http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your processes more closely than would a full restore (which is not available in Vista Home anyway).

    This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.

    Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work): http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.

    I also found the following (but don't know if it of true or not):

    1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."

    2. I chose "Advanced Restore"

    3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.

    4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.

    5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »

    6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue

    7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.

    8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."

    9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup (Yes... even if he said that the backup location is not available " ")

    10. and you press "next".

    11 guess what... no error!

    12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.

    13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.

    14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)

    I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works).  I hope you find any error or discrepancy in your procedure and it will clear up and allow you to restore.

    I hope this helps.

If your computer does not have the Startup Repair, your computer manufacturer can have customized or replaced the tool. See the documentation provided with your computer or go to the manufacturer's Web site.

    Please see the following site for more information on using Startup Repair:

    1. Insert the installation disc.

    2. restart your computer.

    3. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
    Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings.

    4. choose your language settings, and then click on Next.

    5. click on repair your computer.

    6. Select the operating system you want to repair and then click Next.

    7. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair. Startup Repair can invite you to make choices as it tries to solve the problem, and if necessary, it may restart your computer, because it makes the repairs.

    Hello

    I use Samsung laptop computer with Windows 7 (Home edition) running on it, and recently I restored my Windows using the built-in Restore tool Samsung earlier restore point.

    I have had 2 drives IE C: and D: drive. Previously, windows has been installed in the C: drive and I kept my n drive D: personal data. After the successful restoration I don't see my personal data in the D: drive and I see that all drive C: files were copied on the D: drive (C: all files on the system disc such as Program FIles, windows, Documents, and settings etc.) and new windows were installed in drive C :

    I can't see any of my personal files and folder and I would like to get them back because they were very important to me.

    Can someone help me how do to recover my files and personal files that were saved in the D: drive earlier?

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Kind regards

    Pankaj

    I want to get them back because they were very important to me.

    You can probably resolved problem, but doing so through this forum is not realistic. You ask a computer-savvy friend to help you by looking at your machine or giving him access to your machine remotely. You should also check your philosophy of backup. Having very important files without an external backup is a contradiction, that you have to solve.

    How do I restore my windows 7 to its factory settings? as a new installation!

    If you have bought and installed Windows 7 yourself, see the following resources:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

    If it is preinstalled on your computer.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Samsung: Press the F4 key to the Samsung logo when you turn first.

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
