| 471219 | 2006-07-16 00:44:00 | Hi everyone, I recently bought a laptop and I was wondering if there is a way I can obtain a copy of the Original Winxp disk, since the software came preloaded. I have a lisence key etc, but would like the disk to reload it in the future. Thanks. |

| 471221 | 2006-07-16 01:01:00 | Most brand name laptops come with an "operating System" cd with XP on it but it isn't labelled as "XP". What brand/model laptop is it? :) Cheers KiwiMR2 |

Im pretty darn sure they install an application that allows you do delete the partion & burn the OS to a dvd.....in saying that i have a funny feeling I read somewhere it doesn't do anything about the drivers & XP doesn't have them all leaving you to try and download them off the net :( Cheers KiwiMR2 |

| 471224 | 2006-07-16 01:15:00 | Must be so, It wants 4 cds! rediculous. I have already Downloaded al the drivers so atleast I can make it work when i need to reformat in an emergency. Wonder if i can make it burn to a remote dvdwriter over my network? |

| 471225 | 2006-07-16 01:30:00 | Had a quick look at the Acer site, you should have got a manual maybe on CD or on your HD telling you about Acer eRecovery Management, if you didn't you can download the pdf from the site, tells you all about your recovery options. | snoopy (74) | ||
| 471226 | 2006-07-16 02:13:00 | Try calling your supplier and tell em you didn't receive the Recovery Disk | Greg (193) | ||
| 471227 | 2006-07-16 02:31:00 | get ghost or similar and make an image onto cd/dvd........MUCH better..... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 471228 | 2006-07-16 03:32:00 | Try calling your supplier and tell em you didn't receive the Recovery Disk I think this would be the first response, don't do anything that may void your warranty first!!!!! |
