Acer Aspire eRecovery
The Acer Aspire eRecovery tool comes in both a DOS and a Windows version with the Windows version offering more features. To open the DOS version, boot up your computer and press the Alt + F10 key combination when you see the Acer splash screen. To open the Windows version, allow Windows to load and then open Acer eManager followed by double-clicking the eRecovery link.
Using the eRecovery tool is fairly simple once you have it launched. You can either restore your Acer Aspire to factory settings from the hidden partition or with the recovery CDs. Once eRecovery loads, you may be prompted to enter a password. According to Acer, the default password is: 000000. If you have not changed the password, enter these six zeros when prompted.

Acer usually preinstall its recover.. so try start, programs, acer recovery or carbonite or any other recover you see, follow the instructions and it will do the rest!

Hi,

You can launch the recovery option by pressing 'F10' on startup, or if that fails, you can do a system recovery from the ACER EManagement 'Backup and Restore' option in Windows itself.

Click recovery actions.
Select RESTORE FACTORY DEFAULT IMAGE.
Once you've confirmed that you wish to proceed the computer will reboot and start to restore the system from the image contained in the HIDDEN PARTITION on the hard drive.
