    Hey guys,

    Does anyone know how to restore the Acer M5 back to it's mother's settings? I haven't burned the dvds because the acer program asked me to burn 14.7GB, and I just didn't have 4 dvds available at the time.

    Is there any other way around it, to take it back to the mode it is before it's run for the first time?

    You can burn the DVDs now or use the hidden recovery partition (ALT=F10 at boot if I remember correctly).
