    Hi.

    I've replaced the old hard drive that came in Laptop from new. When i did a Factory Reboot in the past. I use to do the ALT/F10. But since i put new hard drive in. I can no longer do this. I get the following massage (Missing Operating System)

    This is a Acer Aspire 5310 by the way. I have also tried using Acer Aspire 5315 Factory recovery/system discs for a Laptop. Which i thought would be compatible. But i keep getting a box come up with the following(Recovery 32 Type Mismatch)

    Will this mean i have to shed out more cash and buy Acer Aspire 5310 Factory recovery/system discs. From Acer.

    Can someone please help?

    Thanks
