    I need help!

    I reinstall a WinXP Pro by myself. I used back the original WinXP Home partition and did nothing on the overall partition table. But I just cannot find the eRecovery installation EXE from the Acer System CD.

    After I digged from the CD for awhile and did few recovery, I found that the first boot-in of WinXP will have a c:ACERNB folder that contain the programs to be installed by default. The eRecovery is the ERY.EXE archive file. So I installed by it and did get back eRecovery icon in eManager and able to run it also. However, after I tried to make backup file for my current system, abnormal begins. After I chosen to create a new backup file of my current system, it will prompt me that the system needed to be rebooted first. After rebooted and back to user desktop, no backup action was seen. Insteads, I got a error message of "Image size error!" from Monitor.exe in eRecovery.

    I tried to recover back to WinXP HOME but the same error message pops up whenever load in windows.

    Anyone know how to manual install eRecovery on a newly installed OS? Also I need to fix the "Image size error!" problem as well. Pls! I need urgent help la~!

    Thank you very much!!

    you have lost hte hidden partition that eRecovery save the image to. The only thing you can do at this point if it lets you is save a image to a DVD
