Question about Acer Aspire One PC Notebook

2 Answers

My acer aspire netbook is not able to boot properly into windows xp.it starts off ok at the boot screen saying windows xp,but then wont finish booting .my data is on there and I didnt get a chance to do a backup before it stopped.How can I access the hard drive inside to slave and backup without voiding warranty.If I send it back to acer,they say theres no responsibility taken for loss of data,and that theres no guarantee the data wont be lost. Is there any other ways to back up data?.I dont even have an external burner.Any ideas are greatfully appreciated.Thank you. Phillip.

I only have the hdd from the good pc to conect via an Xcraft external hard drive enclosure whicch could connect to the bad pc by a USB connection.the encclosure has its own power supply(DC).will that work if I connect it up,or will it harm the netbook?.if its going to work,how do I go about it?

    Thank you hmerchant 110.unfortunately,I dont have a windows xp cd,as the acer aspire one netbook came preinstalled and the only other xp disk I have is one which has already been used on another pc,and so it would have a different key number .I dont know if I could do a repair or replacement of files(for example,using the fred Langa method),unless its possible to do the repair and insert the broken PCs own key number when prompted.

First try to start on safe mode.
to start on safe mode:
reboot your Pc
hold F8 while system starts
and when you are taken to safe mode
choose start with safe mode option
i may take you in to your desktop.
if it does not work then
you need can either do whole backup in to another external drive using ghost software or
just take off HDD and plug in to External hard drive reader (you can buy in market in cheap price) and plug in to another computer and copy your whole profile so you will have all data whatever you have on it.

Good luck.

Hi Phillip,

From the description of the problem it seems that you have only one operating system installed on your PC.

If you have your original XP installation CD, you can repair this installation without deleting you files and data.

System recovery boot
The Acer Aspire line of netbooks have two methods to restore the computer to a working state: System Restore, an application included with Windows, or Acer eRecovery Management, a proprietary application that is packaged with Acer PCs.

If errors appear when running Windows, or if the computer begins to behave strangely, first run System Restore to determine whether reverting the PC to a previous state fixes the problem.
If the problem remains unresolved, or worsens, you can use Acer eRecovery Management to format the hard drive and reload the Acer Aspire netbook to its factory state.

Navigate to the "Start" menu. Select the "Control Panel."
Type "restore" into the Search box.
Press "Enter" then select "Restore Your Computer to an Earlier Time" from below the "Action Center."
Click "Open System Restore."
Click "Next" on the "Restore System Files and Settings" screen.


Select a restore point that was created when the computer was functioning properly. Click "Next," then click "Finish."
Click "Yes" to confirm.
Windows will perform a system recovery on the Acer Aspire One.

Acer eRecovery Management

Turn on the Acer netbook. Hold down the "Alt" and "F10" buttons simultaneously on the boot screen to load Acer eRecovery Management from the recovery partition.


Select "Restore Operating System to Factory Defaults" from the options.


Click "Next" to recover the system to its original state.

My acer netbook stuck on the windows xp screen but wont start beyond that? Had turned it off and on then got to screen: your safe mode options, or start windows normally.....yet it has not.
When you get to the options screen, press safe mode.
Let it boot completely into safe mode.
Then do a normal restart. Should work

You most likely will have to repair windows.

If you can, connect an external CD ROM drive to you Aspire One (I'm assuming that the Aspire One dose not have a CD Drive) and boot of the Windows XP CD. Go through the options as if you were re-installing XP and then when it detects the current installation choose the repair option. THis should fix the boot up issue.

Also you can try the "System recovery" Option. You will need to go through the owner's manual to find out how, but usually you boot up the laptop and tap the "F10" or "Alt + F10" key(s) and it will take you into the system recovery options. This will wipe out all the information that was on the disk before so use as a last resort.

How do i get past the windows 7 start screen on my new acer netbook

It sounds like windows is not finishing loading. The start screen should only last for a few seconds. You say it is new, has it ever booted (started) correctly? Either way you should have a 90 day warranty so I would take it (or send it) back.

To stop acer logo before starting windows xp
Well, Firstly this might be a extreme case but is to reformat your hard drive removing any manufactures partition, and reinstalling the Operating System, but what i would do first is the go to start---run---(type this command and hit enter)"msconfig" the system configuration window should pop up. Go to the boot tab and place check mark in the box which says "No GUI boot" you mat also change the timeout seconds there too. hit apply then OK and reboot your system.

hope this works for you. let met know.

When i turn on laptop screen oes blank but can see curser
Do you see the acer splash screen before you get the black screen with the curser? If so it is more than likely a windows problem. Boot from your XP disk and select R when prompted to repair. Once in the repair console type the following:

chkdsk /r

When it is finished (will take about an hour) then type exit to restart the computer.

Hope this helps

Acer Aspire 5050 Won't Boot.
Your problem could be windows vista isnot installed properly
i assume in the beginning, your laptop come with windows xp.
if you want to go back to windows xp, you can still use alt+f10, as long as you don't delete the recover partition.
Just boot and press Alt+F10, it'll give you recover screen.
