| 629270 | 2008-01-10 22:26:00 | I installed vista sp1 RC last night and when it restarted the laptop wont start windows vista home premium and gives the error message: A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. Technical Info: Stop 0x0000007B (0x82c03ba0, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) I am able to get in to the repair program but all attempts to do a system repair and system restore make no difference, i even tried using the complete restore from a back up but it can't find the back up i have on my external had drive. There are no option to set back to factory settings. How do i set it back to factory settings? or fix this problem as i don't have the cd to install it again(it cam withy computer). i have a back up of all my files on an external hard drive, so it dosn't matter if every thing needs to be wiped. |

| 629273 | 2008-01-11 00:44:00 | Did the laptop give the option to make a recovery DVD, some models have them on the desktop ( Icon), others have a hidden partition which contains the recovery ISO. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 629274 | 2008-01-11 02:34:00 | As i said it came with the laptop when i bought it from Dick smith electronics. You said I installed WIndows. To do that you need the CD. Then you say I don't have the CD. |

| 629275 | 2008-01-11 03:33:00 | If you don;t have the restore discs that you usually have to make when you first buy it, Acer most likely will be able to send them to you for a cost. HP and others do the same. This could help you revert back to a pre-RC situation. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 629276 | 2008-01-11 03:45:00 | Or do what i did. Connect the hdd to an IDE or sata connection on a desktop. If the partitions are still there, find the ISO's then burn them. Then you'll have the recovery cds/dvd's |

| 629277 | 2008-01-11 04:13:00 | I looked through the laptops user guide and found how to reinstall it with out the discs, Had to press alt+f10 at start up which brought up the acer eRecovery program, and from there it reinstalled. You said I installed WIndows. To do that you need the CD. Then you say I don't have the CD. I didn't say 'I' Installed windows vista, I said I installed sp1 RC, and when i said 'install again' it meant istall it again since it was put on the laptop by DSE. |

| 629279 | 2008-01-11 05:01:00 | Well now that its going, dont put SP1 on it till its released. Correct the RC In case you don't know Spaceman - is a Release Candidate - meaning its a Beta Testing version - something you don't want to play around with unless you are prepared for it to go belly up. I got it on a test PC in the workshop - if it goes wrong - big deal (hasn't so far), I don't care, simply reinstall again and way you go. |
