I reformatted my acer aspire 5315 because when I bougt it the hard drive was partitioned which drove me spare! I was able to re install the windows and microsoft office but having no recovery disc all acer stuff disappeared. Can anyone help me to get this back without having to go to the expense of buying it when I have done so once

thanks - I will have a look and see if I can find a solution on the website

Most laptops have a 'recovery partition' on the hard disk instead of system CD/DVD's.
If you haven't deleted the recovery partition you can do try this:
- during POST press F2 to enter the BIOS. Look for an option 'D2D recovery' and enable it.
- during the next POST press ALT F10. The laptop should boot from the recovery partition so you can do a fresh install.

disable all boot from menu (network and etc)
just enable boot from D2D recovery only.

reboot and touch alt+f10
