Acer Aspire 5100 will not boot after using a photo shop dvd made

Computer does not boot upThe problem maybe the RAM, it is faulty or just needsreseating to make proper electrical contact.
Reseat the RAM and then boot up your laptop. If it still does not boot up thenremove the RAM module/s and take them to your friendly computer repair shop andget them to test the RAM for you.

Just go to here

Enter your model and hash code and they email back your bios master password for your Laptop/computer.

The best way to handle this is to completely reformat the drive again, to rid win 7 and the bad XP, and to then re-install XP from the DVD all anew. Any other way is just going to cause hassles trust me.

First check the BIOS options whether u had selected CD/DVD drive as first boot device.and try.....If still the recovery disk doesnt load...u have to determine that the disks are corrupted ......Order for new disks from ACER.

You may want to go to the device manager by right clicking on My Computer and selecting properties. Then select the hardware tab. The device manager will list the categories of the installed hardware. Click on the DVD\C-ROM drives tab and see if it is listed. If it is, then you can uninstall it and then let windows reinstall the drive. If it is not, you may want to try to boot from a windows install CD. If it boots from a CD then most likely it is a driver issue and you may need to reinstall windows. If it will not boot from a CD then the drive may be dead.
If you need more help feel free to let me know.

If your son used the edata security and used both passwords. you can either ask him for password or change the boot secuence to boot to restore disk and restore back to default..which defaults to NO PASSWORD set.

The finger print bull is how that password came up for me and they want a 125.00 to remove it. I called the better business bureau and filed a complaint. They shouldn't have any right to control your laptop. I to have a 6292 , took it apart as far as I could and could not find jumper or password. This is a gimmick to make money.

acer.com eneter your model in dl vista drivers all to folder on hd ok

u cant use recovery disk u need orginal vista dvd or xp cd boot into that then formatt ect

If you are able, when the pc is booting up keep pressing F8, this will take you to safe mode and not allow the graphics driver to run. When in the safe mode options, select either Last known good configuration or start windows in safe mode. Last known good configuration should find the last good system settings, when it reboots. Start windows in safe mode allows you to go into windows using the administartor account, and then you should select system restore and restore back to the day before or just before you updated the graphics driver.
