XP Home for my Acer Lap top 5s

I have an Acer Lap Top 5 years with Windows XP Home edition.  The hard drive failed and I had to replace.  I tried using the recovery disk provided by the mfg, but they do not work.  I followed the instructions exactly, but nothing.  I entered my s/n systems in their web site and they say it rained not available media Window XP disc.  What should I do to get the operating system reloaded on my lap top?

Hello

Help on using the recovery disc I recommend you contact Acer support and check.

    Hello Luke,.

    About helping foreigners to Rodez computers was a hot topic among other Experts earlier this year.

    Many of us do not want did it for us or HP if help us someone access to a computer, that is not the responsibility.

    Sorry, not that you are one of those, but we have no way of knowing.

    Here are 3 different alternatives:

    1. If you forgot your password for Windows (local account on the drive) user account, there is a lot of online tutorials explaining how to create password reset media to change the connection. An account live windows 8.1 or 10 will have to be reset online via your microsoft account.

    2. you can also simply reset the computer to factory if the recovery partition is in place.

    Usually you can hit the Esc key repeatedly, until the options screen, then choose F11 for recovery.

    You will lose all data but if you have not already backed it up.

    3. you can take a shop. Most of the shops will be break for you if you can prove that you are the owner.

    Photography and photoshop, I have downloaded the Adobe Lightroom 3 (when it is published) on the laptop. I'll also have a 500GB hard drive with pictures on this topic only. I expected import of external hd for photoshop. I don't want to wait all day to import and to work on pictures.

    After reading what you wrote, I think that it is a good decision to buy this laptop Qosmio.
    For best performance, you need to optimize OS preinstalled. What does deletes everything preinstalled, you do not need, install your favorite applications, disable or unnecessary processes and services, make sure that unnecessary applications do not start with the OS. I think you know what I mean and you probably don't have this already before you start using the operating system.

    I don't know how it works in Australia, but here, in Europe, you can buy some products and test for two weeks. If you don't like it you can return it. If it is the same in your country, buy it, test it and make sure that you choose the right product.
