    I am trying to do the following, but can't even find Acer eRecovery Management.

    I have Vista, but don't know how to boot into xp...

    Re-install bundled software without CD


    Acer eRecovery Management stores pre-loaded software internally for easy
    driver and application re-installation.

    1 Boot to Windows XP.
    2 Press Alt + F10 to open the Acer eRecovery Management utility.
    3 Enter the password to proceed. The default password is six zeros.
    4 In the Acer eRecovery Management window, select Recovery actions and
    click Next.
    5 In the Recovery settings window, select Reinstall applications/drivers and
    click Next.
    6 Select the desired driver/application and follow the instructions on screen
    to re-install.

    At first launch, Acer eRecovery Management prepares all the needed software
    and may take few seconds to bring up the software content window.

    If you can't even boot the computer you can't begin to reinstall Vista from the Hard Drive. I had a similar problem and had to return the laptop to Acer under warranty for them to repair the drive.
