Acer 3050 1554 No instalation disc

Insert installation disc. Start over if you are in a loop. You may have to do a clean wipe and format.

Well, the computer is telling you that the Windows installation failed to complete because either:
1. The Disk was Damaged
2. The hard drive you're trying to put windows on is damaged
3. Corrupted file

Factory reset on acer aspire 5733z-4851 without reset disc. ALT+F10 keys at boot will start Acer recovery process. if this keys combo doesn't work, enter BIOS pressing F2 at boot and check if D2D is disabled, enable it then press F10, save and exit.

The following might later prove of value:

Then there is a process of booting from a USB stick. But you need an iso file of Windows 7. Microsoft Recovery Center likes retail versions with keys but not OEM versions.

Just something you might need to take a look at.

Hi ljcoppes...
If you have to use the CD/DVD's for recovery then you will have to buy or borrow a usb connected CD/DVD reader/player.

You can try acer.com to get your System Restore CD and Device Drivers. You will most likely have to order the restore disc. This usually doesn't cost more than $50. You could also try finding someone who has a Windows installation disc of the same version you have in your computer. Install Windows from that disc and use the product key on the sticker that's on your computer when prompted for it by the installation disc program. Be sure to activate Windows once the installation is completed. It's not necessary to Register it though.
