Recovery procedure for Acer netbooks.
Important Information
The Recovery disc will help you to restore the hard drive with the
original software content that was installed when you purchased your
notebook. Follow the steps below to rebuild your hard drive. Your drive
will be reformatted and all data will be erased. It is important to
back up all data files before you use this option.
Restoration procedure:
1. Press the power button to turn the system on.
2. Select to boot from a USB optical drive. There are two ways to do this:
2.1. Press <F2> during the Power-On Self-Test (when the Acer logo
is displayed onscreen after bootup) to enter BIOS Setup.
2.1.1. Select the Boot menu.
2.1.2. Refer to onscreen instructions to set the first device to any bootable optical disc drive.
2.2. Press <F12> during the Power-On Self-Test (when the Acer
logo is displayed onscreen after bootup), and select the USB ODD from
the list that appears.
3. Ensure the Recovery disc is in an external (USB) optical disc drive,
and exit the boot selection menu, by selecting Exit Saving Changes from
the Exit menu or pressing <F10>, or by pressing <Enter> as
appropriate.
4. Select Exit Saving Changes from the Exit menu or press <F10>.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation process.
6. When you finish the recovery process, please remove the Recovery disc and insert the System disc again.
7. Restart your computer.
The Aspire One is a netbook produced by
Acer; it does not come equipped with a CD ROM drive, so a traditional
hard drive reformat and Windows reinstallation is not possible without a
peripheral storage device. An external USB CD or flash drive will suffice, however.Difficulty:Moderate
