    Hello,

    I formatted the c drive without making the recovery dvd...

    I installed two operating systems then the acer mbr got damaged (missing bootmgr )

    I reformatted the hard drive but without deleting the 12GB pqservice..

    I actually made a copy of that partition on a flash drive.

    now...can I rebuild that partition so I can recover windows 7 ?

    at least can I extract my recovery dvd from the pqservice partition.

    thanks.

    Even if it's possible it would be/may be annoyingly hard.
    It's far easier to use a retail Windows disc to install, use a product key that's on a sticker on the bottom of your notebook and install drivers and apps from Acer support.
