Aspire 5810T Recovery CD/DVD

Hello,

Can anyone please help me find this Recovery Media to download and repais my notebook ?

Thank you.

If you cant find someone to send you recovery CDs you can always contact Acer. Acer can send the Recovery CDs for a small fee. I own a 5810T as well, Acer didnt supply any Recovery CDs. I wish I could help you out but I can since I upgraded to Windows 7.

 

Thanks Joe.
This is really unbelievable ... the damn cd's should come with the laptop .. and now i have to pay to Acer to get it ? ...
If anyone could help it would be appreciated.
Many Thanks.

You could have burned those DVDs when you were prompted by Acer eRecovery on the first start- so don't blame it on Acer now.
You can also use recovery partition- it's does the same thing- just press ALT+F10 at boot (when you see Acer logo).
When you do succeed- make sure you burn those DVDs just in case recovery partition gets corrupted or something else comes up.

 

Downloads .. i would have burned them, IF i would have initially installed the notebook .. but i wasnt .. it was given to me in working condition (from family) and now im stuck ...
By the way, i also have a toshiba, with the same partition system, and it came with the original restore cd's so ... i think that would be nice from acer to put the cd's in the laptop .. but its just me then.
Thank you for your help Downloads.

Cheers.

They used to do this back in the day but this requires 4 DVDs now. Let’s assume this costs them $2. If you multiply this by number of sold units (in was estimated to be 12-13 mil units in 2009- I don't know the final numbers) you get $ 24-26 mil in what is in essence profit.
As for customers- we still get a recovery partition and a reminder to burn DVDs ourselves. If those two options fail you can still install Windows from retail DVD and use product key from the bottom of the notebook to activate it.
Only if you manage to get past all of these are you forced to pay Acer for another set of backup DVDs.

Anyway- use ALT+F10 method- it's faster than recovery DVDs.

 

ok,
will try then.

Thank you for the help.
