    Hi and welcome to the forums.

    Hopefully someone can help you here. Old story though.....deleted "Hidden Partition" or "PQ Service" normally results in tears.

    See my sig and good luck

    Cheers,

    Give this a try, not sure if it works though, was from another site:

    1 disable the D2D recovery option of the bios.

    2 open a Windows session with an account administrator.

    3 Download, unzip and launch partedit32(registration required for download).

    4 Identify the Pqservice partition by its size (at the bottom of the partedit window there is a partition information box) it is a small sized partition approximately 2 to 6 G o_Once made change the type of your partition into 0C and save. Restart and open a session with an administrator account, you should be able to navigate to the PQservice partition. Seek these two files mbrwrdos.exe and rtmbr.bin once localised open a command prompt and launch this command mbrwrdos.exe install rtmbr.bin, this will install the Acer MBR. Close the command prompt window restart again Windows go into the bios and reactivate the D2D recovery. Now ALT+F10 should launch Acer recovery at the starting of the computer.
