I checked with Acer support and they do n ot list the application in the apps lineup for XP Pro. They do however have a BIOS update that was released in March of this year. BIOS updates could make it possible to use other programs meant for other OS, but you would have to go to the support site, put in you model, specify your operating system and click on the tab over what is listed to find what you want. When you see the results pop up , there is drivers, applications, documents, BIOS, etc. Highlight what you are intersted in and read the info on it. I will tell you this, laptops are the easiest to update a BIOS because they have two power sources, that way if power fails, you have a battery backup keeping the update installing, But BIOS are very temperamental and if they go bad, you now have a foldable paperweight. Look around in there, you may something.

Acer ERecovery Service is Not Available
What is the ERecovery Service?
 On Acer Computers there is a floating toolbar on the desktop called the Acer Empowering Technology program. Within this program there is the ERecovery Service that allows a user to create backup operating system disks, create a backup of the current system, and more. This is a very handy feature because in many cases the computer does not come with a set of backup disks.

The icon for the ERecovery service looks like this one:

If you dont see this icon on the Empowering Technology bar then the application is not installed and will not be available.

How to Open ERecovery Service

There are three ways to access the ERecovery Service.
  1. Press ALT-F10 when the computer is first turned on. If you see the Windows XP or Vista splash screen you've waited too long and will have to shut the computer down and try it again.
  2. Find the ERecovery Service icon on the Acer floating toolbar and click it.
  3. Click on Start, All Programs, Acer Empowering Technology, and click on the icon for Acer ERecovery Management.
Downgrading from Vista to XP - "ERecovery Service is Not Available"

On many Acer models, the computer is preinstalled with Windows Vista, but it comes with a set of Windows XP Professional disks that allow you to uninstall Vista and reinstall Windows XP. Unfortunately, the hidden partition (PQService) that enables the ERecovery feature remains with a Windows Vista image. So, after the reinstallation of Windows XP, the Erecovery service is not available and you'll see a screen similar to the one below when you try to access it from within Windows.

You can still access the ERecovery Service using the Alt-F10 trick when the computer first starting booting, but you'll be disappointed to see the Windows Vista OS instead of Windows XP . Dont proceed with the ERecovery at this point unless you want to restore the system back to Vista.
