Answer

Ok,

In that case we have two options, The first would be for you to just order a set of Restore disks from Acer which you can get by following this link and will cost you the price of shipping if the machine is out of warranty https://secure.tx.acer.com/RCDB/Main.aspx?brand=acer

The other option is to attempt to repair the recovery partition,however I cannot promise it will work as it is a very hit and miss process which depends on how badly the recovery partition is damaged.

Let em know which you prefer.

Thanks

i am not confident with trying it my self so i will try and order the disk

Accepted Answer

Ok,

The restore disk will take care of you and as a bonus it will also restore the factory restore partition so that if you have issues again in the future you will be able to use the Alt+F10 option.

If you need any help in the future just let us know

Thanks
