Recovery Acer Aspire V3 disc question

Hello

Recently, I used a set of recovery disks on my Acer Aspire V3 because I had problems starting Windows. I am currently using this laptop and it's incredibly slow well only barely nothing installed on it. That, as well as other issues lead me to believe that the hard drive has failed.

My question is, if I replace the hard drive with a new hard drive, I just bought at Best Buy (same size, 1 TB), the recovery disks still work? Is that all I have to do beforehand to operate?

Just swap the drives and use your recovery media, nothing else.

  • Acer aspire ES1-111 questions

    Hi all

    I decided to enroll in this community to get some tips and reviews the problems I am experiencing with this laptop. I own an Acer Aspire ES1-111 I bought a week ago.

    Since its first configuration, I noticed problems using it with windows 8.1 (its native operating system). For example, touchpad or keyboard not working not properly and, especially, shutdown problems. In this case specific I could never stop the device correctly, because he remained with the power indicator which continued into 'works' although it seems that the system is freezed was arrested. However, in order to really stop I had to press the power button / stop.

    First of all, I decided to reset the system with built-in software eRecovery but problems remain.

    Secondly, I decided to do a clean install of the operating system and I tried the two Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. In both cases, installation process complete without problems, but when you try to install all the drivers, I experienced freezes and once again the shutdown problems. I followed an order to install drivers (Chipset first, only VGA, etc), but in most cases, I had problems of supra. I also tried to disable "Fast start (recommended) turn" without success. 

    But now comes the strange part.

    I finally decided to give it a try for Windows 7 and, to my surprise, everything works fine! I was able to install the drivers correctly and to stop or restart my laptop without a problem. Now I use Windows 7, but, as it is under warranty, I would ask you what you think of this questions.

    I find it quite strange that a laptop does not properly with its native operating system but it is very good with an older operating system! Do you think I should send to Acer support or ask to change it (although, I don't know if I'm still able to pursue this second option).

    Thanks for your attention!

    I think I found the reason why I was unable to run Windows 8.1 smoothly after a new installation. I tried to install it during the configuration of the Bios in LEGACY mode, which is good for the BONES before Windows 8 (like Windows 7, as it was working perfectly) but not for Windows 8/8.1 as it probably some issue when install drivers etc.

    So I decided to reset the Bios original UEFI mode. It was the right decision. Not only touchpad was recognized well when loading the USB bootable (expecially since the Touchpad has been on "Advanced", which in legacy mode, would not work), but also because, when the operating system installation process has been completed, I was able to install all the drivers hardware properly and stop/restart of operations fully worked without problems / freezes and so on.

    Hope this information is useful for other users.

  • Acer Aspire One Internet questions (Please HELP)

    Hey guys!

    I recently bought an Acer Aspire One netbook for school. The computer is just amazing in every way, shape and form - outside the horribly slow and buggy internet. Regardless of my connection or the browser, I have problems such as limited connections insane, usually internet slow speed and all disconnections that occur without reason. If I disconnect and reconnect to the network even after a question given, however, it works very well for the next thirty-or-so minutes, and I encounter the problem again. I noticed that if I closed the computer at a given time, open it and use the internet, these issues seem to be more important. Restarting the computer seems to temporarily solve the problem for a decent time period, but I have to restart the computer several times during a period of use, which is very inconvenient and frustrating. Due to the fact that my school is entirely internet-based, these issues (that occur whenever I use the computer, by the way) become ridiculously boring. Anyone who suffers these problems? Is it possible to fix this?

    (Disclaimer: I studied the problem and saw that there was a 'feature' that slows down the speed of the internet to save the battery, which can be disabled in the settings.) However, after doing this, these issues continue to persist.)

    Hi all!

    The issue started happening two days ago.  When I try to turn on the laptop, the power led lights up, the fan will start to blow, hard drive will start to spin and then everything suddenly, it turns off.  The screen remains black throughout the process.  All this happens in a period of 3-4 seconds and laptop computer repeat the process four times with attached AC adapter (with only battery attached, laptop once).  It won't start and join the BIOS, the laptop shuts down before that.   I tried several things so far.

    1 ram remove Glue one by one and replacement

    2 tried to remove the batteries and only the execution of the power adapter

    3. past autour where I used only the battery and no power adapter.

    4 taking battery and power adapter off and holding down the power buttong + 30 seconds

    5. Replace hard drive with another hard drive compatible.

    Now, I am at a loss on what to do.  Has anyone else had this type of problem? If anyone can help me, it be so awesome! Thank you in advance!

    Nice day

  • need recovery disc for ACER Aspire 5741

    Hello

    I did not create recovery discs, and now I have to replace the hard drive. Where can I get the recovery disks for Acer Aspire 5741 (WIN 7 Home Premium OA 64-bit)?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Maybe you can buy the recovery media factory to your Acer store. As an old OS, I think that it shouldn't be available.

  • Aspire 5742 recovery disc question

    This is a long post.  I went through a lot of steps already.  I'm not an expert in technology, but I read directions well (most of the time), and my knowledge comes from working through the problems as they come.  I use a newer laptop to make different drives and disks.

    I have an Acer Aspire 5742 Windows 7 hp 08. I had a few deep-rooted malware and decided to do a system restore. The system restore worked and the first thing I did was last updated from windows. There were 192 updates and it took a few hours for them to download and install. After the restart, while it was down to the 5 latest updates to install, a message appeared on the screen, indicating that updates failed, and all of the updates would return. Eight hours later nothing had changed. The screen looked exactly the same. I don't know if I did the wrong thing, but I assumed that the restoration was in an infinite loop and made a decision to perform recovery with my Acer OEM drives.

    There is a system disk and the value of three with the Acer recovery disks. I don't know if all the recovery disks work exactly the same but in case they are not, I will include the information which has come to the screen. After the system disk is inserted and that windows support files, the options in this box Acer Recovery Management are-

    Restore OS - OS restore to default factory default status. All the data on the C: drive will be deleted. (It was the option that I tried to use)
    Restore the operating system and to keep the data of the user - only restore the operating system of your PC to the factory default. Your user account files will be transferred to C:\backup. This option does not remove the malware. (When I tried this: no user data were found on your computer)
    Fully restore computer to factory settings - restore your computer back to the factory default state. All data in the hidden partition and the system partition will be restored. Before restoring, please delete all data on the hard drive (when I tried this: Please delete all files from your hard drive before you start.) This function will not work if there is no file on the hard disk.)

    So by clicking on option 1, there's the box in the view of what is happening. The area becomes "restore the Destination."
    The hard drive name: ST500LM000 - 1EJ162 ATA device
    Partition label: Acer
    Size 8.0 GB partition
    Copy of disk files.
    Please insert the restore disc 1.
    Copy of disk files
    Insert disk 2.
    Copy of disk files
    Insert disk 3 (it is 80% complete)
    Copy of disk files.

    Shortly after that the disk turns on a message box appears saying "There are not enough disk space for the temporary files needed for this operation"

    Press Ok. Wait a minute please. Acer boot screen then back "BOOTMGR is missing. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete.
    Pressing C + A + earrings back to the boot screen Acer and return to "BOOTMGR, etc.".
     
    The original crapped out drive and I replaced it with a hybrid 500 GB drive.  I have partitioned the hard drive for the upgrade of windows 8, which was offered when I bought the laptop.  I rarely used it, and it remained a 20 GB partition.  Think that the partition might be the problem I downloaded the portable computer Wizard mini partition my new tool and copied the files to a CD, a DVD and a flash drive.  All contained errors. Failure of the Conference on disarmament.  I tried another, he sounded like he was going to start and then returned to the screen BOOTMGR.  I pulled out a blank dvd, copied the file .iso from the score to it. The message on the screen: drive hard virtual cannot be mounted from image files or from removable media that is not formatted with the NTFS file.

    I dug around and eventually find my flash drives. The flash player has a default FAT32 and I changed to NTFS (based on the above message) and formatted. I copied the file to the partition.  The message on the screen: a BONE was not found. Try disconnecting all drives that do not contain a BONE.  I made in all attempts above that I changed the boot order in the bios.

    I tried another flash drive and kept the default FAT32.  It would sound like he was trying to start then:
    PX - E61 Media test failure. Check the cable of
    Output of MOF broadcom PXE

    What I am doing wrong?  What can I do to correct this player so that it be cleaned?

    I forgot that I had an external enclosure for a hard drive, so I took out the hard drive for Acer and it subservient to my new laptop. I bought it when the original Acer hard drive became corrupt to try to look at the files. Here I am trying to understand the hard and a less complicated solution (for me) was at hand.  Of course, he had 4 partitions with only 8 GB for the Acer.  Don't know how it happened.  I am planning to wipe the disk completely and using the disks from Acer to start all over again.

    Please accept my sincere thanks for taking the time to help me.  I learn something new every time I have to correct a problem and without the help of message boards I would be screwed.

  • I have two Acer ASpire laptops. They are totally frozen because of the virus. I lost the recovery of Windows Vista Ultimate Edition disc, where to get a replacement. I have to rebuild my laptop.

    Hello

    No - what are the two Acers come with a recovery disk?

    If this is not the case, one of them would have a recovery partion, which specifically is to reinstall the operating system on it.

    With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process.

    All data are lost when you do the above.

    And for the lost disc, contact Acer and ask them to send you recovery disks.

    They do that for a small fee:

    http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  • ACER Aspire 5542 G recovery disk 3?

    This is the first time I want to do a clean install (ACER Aspire 5542 G).

    Immediately I created recovery disks, but the only option was to create 2 discs.

    Now, during the installation process, a third disc of recovery is necessary.

    How can I solve this problem?

    The only thing I can tell you at this point is to start the recovery using these instructions:

    If it does not all recovery disks, then you need to use the hidden partition on the hard drive. If this does not work, the only other way to solve this problem is to purchace to http://store.acer.comrecovery disks. I hope this helps.

  • Questions about the Acer Aspire Switch 10 guarantee

    Hello

    I am very interested and very probably going to go ahead with a purchase of the Acer Aspire Switch 10 but I have a few questions. As the device is not currently available in Australia my plan is either:

    (A) choose one of these devices to the top when I visited the United States in two weeks

    Or

    (B) order now (of the United States) and delivered it here, so it comes at the time wherever I'm back from my trip.

    So my main question is, as I have seen many different people having the same problem here with no apparent difficulty, if I made the purchase would I covered by warranty? I think that one would see me covered by the guarantee of international travelers, but it is not very clear. The second option would be local warranty (United States), is that correct? So if I had a problem I have to send it to the United States (at my expense)? Or should it be mentioned here in Australia? And finally, if a problem arises here, local service center (located in Sydney) acer would be able to solve the problem or find a replacement model, even if I have to pay a fee?

    Thanks for the help, I am completely impressed with the device for what it is, I don't want to be stuck with a dud and know I am not covered by the warranty after I come back home (Australia) or when it arrives.

    A traveler warranty Acer is designed so that if you buy a product, then travel outside your country up to 90 days, you can get service while you travel. Because you live in Australia and be buying abroad and return home, that you would classify not as a traveller in good faith. You can read all of the terms and conditions in http://www.acer.com/worldwide/support/itw.htm.

    The warranty for a product purchased in the United States would need to be repaired in the United States. Unfortunately, you would be responsible for the shipping of the product to the United States for repair, and we can only ship to an address in the United States, so you have to send it to someone in the States who may transmit the packet.

    Regarding if the deposit of Australian repair can repair the product, it would be up to their discression regarding if an ITW applies and if they are able to get the parts of the system. It is recommended that any warranty service needed on a purchased product, to be in the country of the initial sale.
