Nope no go it just ignores me and shows the Acer splash screen with the option of F2 to get to the Bios. Then the screen goes blank |

Well, the only other thing you can do (if you dont have the recovery cd's / dvd's), is remove the hdd, put it in a desktop. Find the restore partition, (if its there), find the iso's (if theyre there). Burn them if you have some blank cd's / dvd's) |

I did a back up of Vista as soon as I bought the Laptop. I have the 2 DVDs in front of me now. |

BIOS not set to boot from CD first then it would appear. Or the CDs/DVD are not bootable. |

Does F12 (in the link I posted work)?? If it does, select 3. Make sure the D2D and F12 option are enabled in the BIOS. Looks like these options are under the boot menu in the BIOS |

It is set to boot from CD so it must be that the DVDs aren't bootable :( |
