[Help] - Acer Notebook Disc to Disc Recovery

[vinodh]

My girlfriend has a Acer Aspire 1360 notebook that came pre-loaded with Windows XP home edition. The hard drive was partitioned so that ~2gb was used for the Acer disc to disc recovery system. When windows crashed, i formatted and re-installed, and stupidly, got rid of the extra partition. However, i would like find out how to re-enable this feature. Apparently, it can be used to restore windows, drivers, etc. directly from this partition. I've checked the Acer site, but can find no info about this. Any help with this is appreciated.

If you don't have the CD that contains the data for the recovery partition, you will likely need to contact Acer to get the recovery media sent to you. Otherwise, short of sending the PC to a data recovery operation, it's likely it's gone for good.

you can't re-enable recovery yourself ... and Acer are overbooked for the support and you must paid to re-have recovery partition , about media I'm not sure they send the media. I think Acer will tell you "you must create yourself the media at first boot of notebook (with the program eRecovery which creates cd or dvd ...)

Try to call nevertheless

edit: My solution, download all drivers on his website and burn it
