    I have an Acer Extensa 4420
    Here are the facts:
    1. I have a crashed 250 GB HDD in my Acer Extensa 3320
    2. I replaced it with another HDD of the EXACT same capacity
    3. I created one partition from an ISO file downloaded from Acer website via this link Acer support gave me: http://www.support.acer.com/acerpanam/desktop/0000/Acer/PowerS285/PowerS285faq3.shtml
    4. This utility created one partition of 233 GB and formatted it in FAT32 format
    5. I boot the notebook with the system disc 1 (recovery media)
    I still got this message: "insufficient partition available" and it stops.

    Please, help me. :(
    Regards,
