    Acer laptop Aspire One D150-1Bb
    CPU:Intel Atom processor N280 (1.66 GHz, 667 MHz FSB )
    RAM: DDRII 1GB
    HDD:160GB(SATA, 5400 rpm)
    OS: Windows XP Home Edition sp3

    My daughter, a sixth grader, took it to school last week.
    It could not boot into Windows when it returned. I tried to run an eRecovery. It crashed after loading the files. Now, it automatically runs the eRecovery and crashes at start of the compute.

    I can get into its BIOS but do not find any help.

    Please help.

    The easiest thing to do would be to make a clean install (not eRecovery) and then install all the drivers from Acer support website (all that having previously backed up all user data).

    I assume this notebook can boot from USB?

    Thank you, Mr. Downloads!

    Yes. I agree with you. And I have check its BIOS. It can boot from USB.
    But, I don not have the OS.

    Do you or does any one know where I can get a legitimate OS?

    Thank you!
