Is the d2d erecovery function enabled in the bios?
To check, activate the BIOS utility, press <F2> during the POST; while the notebook PC logo is being displayed.
To enable D2D recovery ard disk recovery), select Main from the categories listed at the top of the screen.
Find D2D Recovery at the bottom of the screen and use the <F5> and <F6> keys to set this value to Enabled.
That should allow you to use the F10 function key to activate D2D.
* Note: D2D e-recovery is not in Acer Empowering Management.
AEM is a power management utility that supports ACPI (advanced configuration and power interface) which allows for maximum power conservation and maximum performance. (Managed by the windows OS)
It the eisa partition is still there on your harddrive, use a program like winhex to access it. among the files there is a file to fix the boot. problem is when you install a non acer boot that the d2d recovery doesnt work. I have done this on 2 different acer computers.
when you make your recovery disks and burn your drivers disk, the eisa partition will be deleted by the system to free up the space..
Try to press f8 in boot up screen.

you can not use erecovery and d2d if your don't have the hidden d21 partition on your harddisk. and since you have replaced your harddisk you don't have it anymore.
mail to compurepair and see if he can fix it..
rate me if you want.

Hi there
You want to restore your computer to its original settings without
recovery CDs?
This recovery process helps you restore the C: drive with the original software content that is installed when you purchase your notebook. Follow the steps below to rebuild your C: drive. (Your C: drive will be reformatted and all data will be erased.) It is important to back up all data files before using this option.
Before performing a restore operation, please check the BIOS settings.
1 To activate the BIOS utility, press <F2> during boot up.
2 Check to see if Acer disk-to-disk recovery is enabled or not.
3 Make sure the D2D Recovery setting in Main is Enabled.
4 Exit the BIOS utility and save changes. The system will reboot.
To start the recovery process:
1 Restart the system.
2 While the Acer logo is showing, press <Alt> + <F10> at the same time to
enter the recovery process.
3 Refer to the onscreen instructions to perform system recovery.
Good luck and Merry Christams

Hi!
My problem is: I had an Acer laptop, with Empower Tech. programs on it, also E-LOCK. I used it often, for some secret files to hide. One day my laptop just died. The HDD is ok, since I can use with USB HDD "box" on another laptop. Everything can be found, exept the hidden files. I tried to download Emp.T. SW to the new laptop (also ACER) and the E-lock is also set, working, but it wont open the hidden files which is on the HDD (connected with USB). Any idea how to get back stuff? Thank you in advance!
im trying to restore to factory without the cd's
