Restore default settings on Acer Extensa 5630

- acpi has to do with the power settings , if I remember my vista, and it does not support it, so I have to wonder why it's telling you that, ok can you get into the bios, restart and hit the delete key, then use the arrows to navigate to the BIOS power settings "you may have to look thru the bios screens to find this" then when you find it, set it to disable acpi. I'm thinking that this is what is happening. It is possibly in the "on position and we must change it, try this and get back to me. thanks

- can you boot into safe mode by toggling f7 f8 on boot up prior to the boot up, if yo can get in that wy we can still do a restore.Or I can give yo some DOS commands to enter if we can get into safe mode. I don't want to give you a whole list of commands before you see if it will go into that mode. Pleasse hike the rating if I am helping you. that determines how we get compensated, I will help you alond as many times as necessary but need a higher rating or it works against me, thanks, Gym

- Sounds like the hard drive is not being recognized.  I would make sure it is installed properly.  Most likely it will need to be replaced.  You will have to order a set of recovery disks from Acer.
