(Aspire One 1-431) Unbootable

The laptop became the "Missing operating system" error, but now it tells me to insert a bootable floppy. I am not able to enter the BIOS Setup. I changed the start of UEFI in legacy mode and saved on accident. The menu only I can enter at the boot's Boot Manager(boot from HD, boot from USB, etc). Is there a way I can back to legacy mode? I got the idea to download something on a USB key and start from there, but have no idea where to start. Any kind of help would be appreciated.

It comes not to lose your data, it comes to UEFI BIOS, so it may start and you can re - install windows properly.

you have two ways to try to get into the BIOS:

(1) press and keep tapping F2 as soon as you press the power button / stop

(2) locate on the bottom of your laptop, a small hole with a battery indicator, it is a reset of the battery, press and hold for 5 seconds and then try to enter the BIOS

(3) if still under warranty, call Acer support service

  • Need a link to DL Firefox 7.0.1 for linux, lang fi - FI (Finnish), to install on Acer Aspire one notebook with linpus linux.

    I got an Acer Aspire One 110 with Linpus Linux lite. Nobody has updated, so the browser to this topic is Firefox 2.0.0.14, which is a major concern for safety.

    The latest version of linux that works properly (as shown) is Firefox 7.0.1. Some people have reported problems from Firefox 8 in Linpus Lite.

    So I need to find a link where I can download this version of Firefox, in Finnish (apparently lang = fi - FI) because Mozilla has removed his breaks like a stale version.

    However, as it is the most recent version to work properly under Linpus Linux Lite (and also in view of the features of the Acer Aspire One 110), I could really use a download link for this version of Firefox, 7.0.1 in Finnish language.

    How can I connect HP Deskjet1050 printer to my laptop ASPIRE ONE D270

    Chfergi975

    Have you read the manual of the printer?  Have you contacted HP?

    Generic help is all that we can give you.  You better go to HP, BUT the first thing you need to do is to install the printer driver.

    Most often when a device does not work, it is because the driver is damaged. Re-install a new copy should help

  • WINDOWS 7 STARTER/ACER ASPIRE ONE UPDATE HELP

    I have a brand new Acer Aspire One Netbook.  It is brand new, so after I did the initial installation for the new netbook, Windows 7 is an update.  When the update is complete, it blocks my netbook.  I get a black screen and a cursor only.  The only way I can fix it is to restore back to the factory and start all over again.  Anyone know why this is happening or that updates 62 is the cause? I basically can't update my OS until it is fixed or know where it is and it can check the updated list.

    You say you have 62 updates. The only true way to know what update is the cause of the problem is by installing one at a time.

    I was looking especially the optional updates as shows drivers etc. If you are offered drivers, you should consult the manufacturer's website to see if indeed you really need the updated drivers.

  • Built in mic on acer aspire one does not

    The microphone on my acer aspire one netbook does not work. I am running windows XP on the netbook and had this problem once before some time back, but can't remember what the person tech told me to uninstall that does the job all of a sudden again. I use also the audio if it helps Realtek HD. I tried several times to update the drivers and reinstall the software from the acer site, it does not work... any suggestions?

    Hello

    Thank you for your message.

    I see that you are facing problems with the built-in microphone.

    Let's not worry! I'm here to help.

    Quick questions:

    1. what exactly happens when you use the built-in microphone? You receive an error message?

    2. What is the status of the device in Device Manager?

    Check out this link to learn more about device manager:

    By using Device Manager

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/snap_dev_mgr.mspx?mfr=true

    Let's try the following and check:

    We will adjust the volume of your microphone and check if it is set as default.

    (a) right click on the "speaker" icon located on the bottom right corner the screen of the taskbar.

    (b) click on sounds, click on the recording tab.

    (c) click Microphone, and then click Properties. (Note to make sure that this work appears under Microphone. If the job does not appear, click on Microphoneand then click set as default.)

    (d) in the Properties of the Microphone dialog box, click the custom tab.

  • Where can I post a problem of Aspire One AO756 USB system recovery?

    Hello.  Where can I post a problem of Aspire One AO756 USB system recovery?  I had a HARD drive crash, replaced the HARD drive and bought a USB (Win 8.1) on the Acer Store system recovery disk.  The USB settles all the installation files and then said to remove the USB key, then click OK to restart.  But the bios can not find a bootable disk to complete construction. I was sent a second USB drive with the same results.  The new HDD Seagate passes each Seatools test.  In addition, I can boot from USB to the DOS or Linux and access the disk without problem. Thank you

    You must use diskpart. in the windows setup program, there is an option to format the partitions manually. allows to delete all partitions, and it will automatically set the MBR or GPT disk.

    A look at the "front" face, under the lip of the keyboard, similar to where a lock would be on a laptop. There is here a cursor that is not a lock, but it is a switch that activates / deactivates him wireless on and outside. Slide it on until it turns on the light above it (with the logo of the antenna), indicating wireless is turned on and drag it again to turn it off.
