help please

 

Alt + F10 won't work as you've installed a generic version of windows. What happens is, when you install a non-acer supplied operating system, this will overwrite the ACER MBR (Master Boot Record), which will make the Alt + F10 function useless. Your hidden partition is still there, but is rendered useless.

Your original post is very confusing, can you boot into windows?

If you can, do a disk cleanup. What happens is, when you have installed all of the drivers for the system, restore points are made on your system, this can use a lot of space.

 

i upgraded my laptop from vista basic to premium.
my laptop hard drive is split in two c/ d/ .
i went to return my laptop to factory settings and take off the upgrade as i
thought it was a full setup.
i tried alt/f10 was unable to enter restore
when i tried again it started beebing fast i turnd off asap.
then tried again it went stright to boot manager optition.
the d/ drive has a file in it name 34d2b27dcessbeo36f.
i opened the file there are 2 folders mrt.exe 07/10/2008.
mrtstub 07/10/2088 has this any thing to do with restore.

help please newbi at work

 

i can go into windows will try clean up.
is there anyway to restore with out using alt/f10.

 

If you try downloading eRecovery, then either try to burn backup disks and run those or try a restore from eRecovery itself:

If you try a diskcleanup, there are options of wat you can clean.

Also there is a program called Tuneup Utilities, this will also do a diskcleanup for you, this will delete your system restore points, apart from your last one. You should see a massive increase in the diskspace you have free when you do a cleanup from a new install.

 

thanks 4 the help.
if i download recovery will i b able to set the laptop to original factory settings.

Possibly, you'll have to download it and see iof it works.
