Markymoo: Most Acers use the same hidden partition so the golden info below is a good solution.Īs you know, the Acer computers and those of other manufacturers are now delivered with a system of restoration installed in a hidden partition of your hard disk. Just call them, explain the situation and they'll instruct you what to do.Īnd no, there are no restore discs AFAIK, I tried that way back then, even international, they just weren't available. In that case I'm sorry, but the only way to get back the hidden partition will be to send in the notebook to Acer. If you have indeed nothing else to fall back to, like an image or something like that, you're screwed.
Next thing I did was getting over to Acers ftp site and pulled all files and applications they had for my notebook and OS, and burned those to a CD and another one for back up. (which does BTW nothing else than restoring the notebook to the state it was in when you bought it.) Rebooted and voila, back in business, albeit without that (useless) hidden partition. I repartitioned like I wanted it, restored the image and put back the software and all other things on D. I had images of the systems partition and all software from the D drive. In my case I said 'screw ya', no dime from me. The answer was like I explained above: they will put a so called preload on the hard disk drive, that one inludes the hidden partition. I called them once to ask about this 'problem'.
Yep, I know what you're probably thinking, but the bad part about that is it will probably cost money. If it indeed is, you'll have to send it in to Acer. Only difference with my situation was I didn't care a thing about it.Īnyway, are you absolutely sure that hidden partition is indeed gone, blown away to the gulag Re: ACER ASPIRE HIDDEN PARTION RESTORATION
