    my hard drive has gone bad so i had to get a new one for it

    now the problem is on the restore disks

    when i got the laptop over a year ago i made 6 restore disks

    one of the files is corrupt and i can not get the system up and running again

    is there anyone out there that could possibly send me a copy of the file

    c7e0a505.036 that is on disk 4

    been in contact with acer about the problem. they told me that the laptop is out of warranty. to get it going again i have to pay for a full set of the restore disks any help would be great on this matter

    the laptop came as standard with vista basic. the only thing i have done is change the hard drive for a new one. the one that went bad stopped booting
    up and only getting a message on start up something about

    hard disk failure blah blah cant remember the full error but it gave the full name of the samsung hard drive that was in it and press f1 to continue then the big blue screen would show for a bout a minute then it would start rebooting itself again

    thanks in advance
