    Does anyone know how to reformat one of these laptops? Apparently they don't come with back up disks for reformatting.

    Theres a Empowering Technology-Acer eRecovery Management feature, but if I should get locked out from the os (which has happened a few times) how are you supposed to reformat it then when you can't access the eRecovery Management?

    Many thanks in advance!

    Judging from your statements I believe your system is still operational although you had a few lock out experiences.

    I suggest you get hold of a copy of the OS on cd or on a usb stick so that during booting up stage you can switch to cd or usb stick to format your drive provided you've not reach the stage of loading your OS

    if you need to reinstall windows you use the disk to disk recovery function. Press alt and f10 several times at the same time at the acer splash screen when you turn the unit on; this will let you reinstall windows from the hidden recovery partition.

    @MizzLi:

    How do you like this laptop? Have not found anyone else in forums that has one. Could you post a few comments?

    Thanks..
