    I have a new Acer Aspire V3. I want to make a Factory recovery disk so, I went to Acer Recovery Management. A link says: Create Factory Default Backup. The next page says : Create a recovery Drive and only offers using a USB drive.There is a checked box that says:Copy the recovery partition from the PC to the recovery drive. If I uncheck this and hit Create Factory Default Backup, there is a link that says: Vreate a system repair disk with a CD or DVD
    instead.Will this DVD be the same as you get if you do it on a USB drive?

    I'm almost sure that it is, but I don't want to find out it was a bit different from the factory recovery after I format my drive to install Windows 7 and need to return it to Factory specs.

    Nevermind. You have to hit F2, go into bios and on the MAIN menu, enable the F12 boot menu. The screen that comes up has no option for a DVD. I guess I have to buy a 32 gig USB drive.
