    I have an Acer Aspire One AOA150 that had Windows XP installed. I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate and redownloaded the Acer eRecovery tool in case something happens. I was curious to see if it would work with Windows 7 now, but don't want to try it myself just in case it screws up my PC or re installs Windows XP.

    Thanks,
    Connor

    It will reinstall Windows XP because that's the system that is on the recovery partition. The point of Acer eRecovery is to get your notebook to the factory state.
