Hello, I need to reload the OS and repair OS on an Acer Aspire, however:
(1) my stepson lost the original OS disk although I have the product key. Can I download a replacement from M/S?
(2) when I do get the OS disk, do I need to do anything like PF2 setup and select "boot from CD drive" to get it to work, or will it automatically detect the OS repair disk in the drive?
You will need to contact Acer for the restore discs. If for some reason you can not get the discs you will need to contact some one who has an OEM version of the windows disk you need. Even then it Microsoft may or may not activate that copy of windows. So hopefully acer can help you. Here is their number, 800-445-6495 however they do charge for support. If you are still with in your warranty then call the number on your warranty statement Any big box store, ie Best Buy can provide you with a print out of the manufactures warranty if it was sold by them. I hope this helps.

Hi everyone! My hp nx9500 shuts down very often... I've tried to use it withe / without battery, with/without power supply, without screen, with other RAM, without HDD... Just the motherboard and keyboard! And it still turns of with no reason! I know that this problem does not come from overheat, because it happens even if the notebook is cold... How can I say if this becomes from the processor, motherboard or graphic card (and I don't know how to replace them)! Can someone help me? I'm sorry if my english is bad, but I'm french and I did not found answers on french websites... Thank you for all!

I cannot connect my external hard drive to my Acer Aspire laptop. I can connect it straight away to my mac and Dell but not this. Do I need to do anything with the USB ports?
