You have Acer eRecovery Management in your laptop now?
If you have it, just click on it and select restore to default factory.
Make sure you back-up your stuffs before begin.
If you do not possess Acer eRecovery Management, you have to use the methods below.
First method : on a functional Windows system:
1 disable the D2D recovery option of the bios.
2 open a Windows session with an account administrator.
3 Download, unzip and launch partedit32(find it yourself).
4 Identify the Pqservice partition by its size (at the bottom of the partedit window there is a partition information box) it is a small sized partition approximately 2 to 6 Gnce made change the type of your partition into 0C and save. Restart and open a session with an administrator account, you should be able to navigate to the PQservice partition. Seek these two files mbrwrdos.exe and rtmbr.bin once localised open a command prompt and launch this command mbrwrdos.exe install rtmbr.bin, this will install the Acer MBR. Close the command prompt window restart again Windows go into the bios and reactivate the D2D recovery. Now ALT+F10 should launch Acer recovery at the starting of the computer.
Second method : On a nonfunctional Windows system.
For that you must use a Linux distribution (for me Mandriva provided all the tools necessary).
1 Boot on the Mandriva install CD/DVD the boot menu will give you the possibility to repair or to restore the Windows boot loader.
2 If that is not enough launch an installation of linux(this will be an occasion to test this terrible OS) and choose LILO as boot loader(a boot menu that allow you to choose between several operating systems) once finished the installation. Restart your computer in the boot loader menu system you will have at least 2 Windows options the first generally point to PQservice choose it and you will boot directly into acer D2D recovery.
The last solution is the simplest one, just note that during the Linux installation you will have to resize your Windows partition to create a place for a new Linux partition it is the most perilous part because irreversible, therefore take your precautions at this time. -

I'm a legal registered owner of my laptop.
I did NOT ask anyone to do any illegal act in this forum.
Do you understand what the Partition Table and MBR files are? Are they copyright protected by any law of any country?

In my village , we use Fdisk to build our own partition tables .
Still , I know well were you had stuck .
If you use recovery disks , all that you get its a single partition !
Secondly , does not boot .
Third , you hope to rebuild by your self .
Fourth , you have to ask, how to do it ..
And I will say , wait for the next train.. -
