I have been trying to create the recovery disk for my Acer laptop, I have used the eRecovery management and when I insert the DVD-R disk it comes up with the message burning failed insert a blank DVD. Could some one tell what I am doing wrong.
View 9 RepliesI am trying to create a Recovery Disk in my Acer laptop, I went through their User Manual and there was not enough information to the procedure. Could some one point me in the right direction so that I can do this. My hard disk has a hidden partition of 7.8GB with EISA Configuration but in the Disk Management it says it is 100% Free. The other partition is C: which is my system partition. I hope I have given enough information if not please let me know. I have also requested the Acer but I believe they will only direct me to their eRecovery Management Tool.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI got my Acer Extenza 4620Z Laptop in December and it has Vista installed, and until today, the internet has always worked fine. Earlier today I was turning my computer on and when everything loaded up I connected to my home wireless network (Belkin router) but the computer couldn't connect to any programs that use the internet (AIM, Firefox, IE). My desktop is older and has XP, which is working like normal, all things internet work normally so I know its not the router or the ISP. When I contacted Acer about the situation, the IT told me to perform a system restore to a few days ago (3/9/08), which I did. That worked for a few hours and then it happened again, "Server Not Found" and nothing that uses internet would work. The I tried to System Restore it again to earlier (2/28/08) and it worked again, but also for only a few hours. Now my laptop just automatically installed all the Windows updates from 3/9-3/12 and the internet doesnt work again. How can I fix this problem? I am convinced that it has something to do with the Windows Updates because it only happens when one of the newer updates is installed.

My old HDD failed and I bought a Seagate Barracuda to replace it with. Here is the lengthy explanation with as much information (probably too much). So I ordered the Recovery CD's from Acer for my computer and I began the process......

View 9 Replies View RelatedI know (I think) what system restore points are. Happily I have never had to use them. I cannot seem to be able to create recovery disks (ie cd-roms) as I could on my last system, (or DOS-Startup disks) for use in a complete system crash?
View 5 Replies View RelatedAll the discussion about a bootable recovery disc, and this article I ran across the other day. The article says you need the original installation disc. I have a machine that the disc didn't come with. Vista SP1: Create a recovery disc - istartedsomething. If I don't have the original disc, can I still make a Recovery Disc thru SP1? I know that there are a lot of places to download a ISO image from. In fact I downloaded one yesterday from a source in this thread. Complete PC Restore- HOW??
But I am under the impression that it would be better to use a disc created after you have loaded SP1 if you have to do a repair? The question is, will I be able to create a recovery disc after I have downloaded SP1 if I don't have the original install disc? Or should I just create the one I have the image for and if I need to use it then Reload SP1 after I get running again?
I recently had to change my hard drive because the original one got bricked. I was wondering how to make the recovery drive that was on the original HDD.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an OEM laptop and I wanted to know if there was any way possible of creating a custom Windows DVD that installs Windows Vista with SP2 already installed without a windows installation disk. The reason I want to do this is that when I have to recover with the OEM recovery disk (eww) It installs two extra DVDs work of crud with it.

I installed it with a dual boot putting Vista on a little partition so I could see how I liked it. No I am ready to wipe out my XP and Previous Vista and start over.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have my old XP load on my C drive and Vista on the D drive. I'm ready to wipe out XP (I know lots of folks would go the other way) so I can create a mirror copy of Vista for fault tolerance. Before I enable RAID in the firmware, I'm thinking I need to format the C drive. However the Disk Management utility has the format command grayed out for the C drive. It shows up as:
Disk 0: C: NTFS, Healthy (System, Active, Primary Partition)
My D drive is: Disk 2: D: NTFS, Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary
Partition)
What is the proper way to wipe out C so I can create my RAID mirror?
I want to have two flash drives working in like a raid mirror.I can plug in one of the usb flash drives and get say a new E:, but of course if I plug in the second one I get a f:

I downloaded Windows 7 RC1 with the intent of adding a partition to my HDD and dual booting. My understanding is that I would need a 16GB partition. My Disk Management Console tells me I have two existing primary partitions (expected). D (the recovery partition) is 6.62GB. The other (C) makes up the difference (~142GB) and has 47.1GB free space. When I begin the "shrink volume" process, it says that only 3MB is available to shrink C. I checked the page file and it has less than 3GB allocated to it. So, I have two questions. First, why isn't more shrinkage ;>) space available? Two, assuming that with your help I can find more space, if I try to create a 16GB partition from C will I significantly affect computer performance?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI had to create a windows recovery disk
I used it to system restore her system to a date before she had set her password
and on the menu it said install vista
and on my old laptop that my dad has it's a 2gb compaq presario
they're not made anymore
it has low memory it's very slow and really
hardly useable without getting very stressed
so if I used the recovery disk I created
and click install vista
will it be like a new laptop?
there's nothing needed on the laptop
so nothing is being lost by resetting the laptop
it's got vista home premium x86
Last month I got a HP laptop and I forgot to take recovery disks.
Due to some problems, my OS got corrupted and so I re installed vista

softwares. Can I create a recovery parition or recovery disks with the
current setup? If yes, how? Also how many times can I create recovery
disks? Is it a one time process?
I have a DELL laptop running VISTA. I have noticed that my D (recovery ) drive is almost full. I have gone through the routine of trying to erase all unnecessary files several times. The drive is still almost completely full despite all my efforts. The wastebasket is empty, I have deleted all duplicated files from, nothing works. The computer seems to only use the D drive and the C drive is more than 70% free space.
View 9 Replies View RelatedUnrelated to a recent previous post about a Vista Recovery Disk, I read today on How-To-Geek.com about one that Windows offered that is available for free DL from neosmart.net. It is supposed to function better than the recovery partition that is provided OEM with Vista on laptops. When I went there I DLed the 32-bit torrent file from their link, it turns out to be an html file that is just a bunch of code. I understand that the actual recovery disk is over 100MBs.
Can somebody fill me in about what I am supposed to do to get the actual neosmart torrent file to download with my DL manager (flashget)-- or do I do something with the html file I just got? Or do I have to DL it from their page into a bit torrent program?
- have 64 bit vista
- want to replace it with 32 bit vista which came with my laptop

I have a Compaq machine with HP software. My machine is running slow (it has a 2.5 rating) and four files come up missing when it boots. I would like to reinstall VISTA (or preferably XP if I can get a copy). I got the computer from a friend who does not remember what disks, if any, came with it. I have SP1 installed but I do not have a recovery disk or an original installation disk. How would I know if there was a installation or recovery disk? Would I likely get anywhere asking Compaq or HP for help?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat are the basic differences between XP & Vista? All we do is surf the web, email and download an occasional game. Norton AntiVirus is always on and always up-to-date. My XP machine is dying big time & I can't figure out how to save it. It won't recognize the System Recovery disk that came with the machine, but it will recognize other CDs. That CD must be bent or whatever. The SPs are up to date. I'm running Office XP and it is taking Word and Excel 7 or 8 seconds to load; it used to open in a snap. I installed the latest edition of Firefox and loading web pages with it is taking too long. Most pages should just snap open. I guessed we've been "phished" or whatever because some of the ads I run into know that I live in Seattle. Our network connection is DSL and we haven't made any changes of any consequence that I know of to this machine in ages. I put SpyBot on it a week ago and twice when WinXP started, the Spybot folder opened. Not the program but the folder.
