Re: I need recovery disks to my acer e360 for free
You probably won't be getting them. If you either didn't get disks with your computer or you didn't make them when you started using the machine, you will have to order a set from Acer. Probably cost about $20.

First thing I'd do would be to run a hard drive scan from a cd or bootable USB. It sounds very much like a hardware problem and failed hard drives are very common occurances. Given the age of your PC that seems to be the most likely cause of this problem but a hdd scan will confirm that. Unfortunately you'll need access to a PC to get those tools ready.
You most likely can't. OEM system builders...HP, Acer, Lenov, DELL usually don't provide a recovery disk with their laptops so they can charge you later when you need it. This is done to keep their costs down and increase profit.
Most cases, when you got your new laptop, there were instructions to "Create Recovery discs". But 99% of most users never do.
Result: you will need to call Acer and order the recovery discs or see if anyone has them on ebay/craigslist cheaper. Acer is best bet, so you don't end up with wrong or non-working discs and prolong your problem. Should be about $25-50 including shipping.
You didn't loose you work, windows only got corrupted as what often happens. Start up into safe mode, then run "scan disk" and select fix errors automatically, it might take a while to run. Maybe with a little luck it might find some errors and fix it.
Worst case situation - put the hard drive in another computer that boots in order to back up work, then put it back in your machine and buy a copy of windows xp. Then install drivers from Acer's website. (might have to use a jump drive with another machine to install first network drivers on your machine)
Hope this helps maybe a bit......
