eRecovery problem

Hi all,

I bought an Acer Aspire 1694 last week. I tryed to put Linux in one of its partitions and I got problems with eRecovery.

Here is what I did and what happened:

The Hard Disk partitions when I bought my laptop was:

PQSERVICE - fat32 - config. EISA - 2.93GB - primary (the ghost partition)
ACER(C - fat32 - windows - 44.99GB - primary
ACERDATA(D - fat32 - windows - logic partition

I put Linux Ubuntu on the D: partition and I didn't get problems with its installation.

Windows wrks quite well and accept Linux but eRecovery program gives me problems.
when i enter windows eRecovery Start with the file Monitor.exe and try to look for (I think) the hold D: fat32 partition. I have to end process with task manager... it use all the CPU and let Windows unusable.

What can I do? I think that eRecovery and the ghost partition are quite useless but I cannot uninstall eRecovery.

I tried to recovery the sistem with the System CD and then the windows' CDs: they saw linux and accepted it leaving linux on Its partition (D but the problem with eRecovery still remain.

I think It coul be an idea to make a new partition under C: (calling it D: with a fat32) and the reinstall windows...se eRecovery could find all its stuff. the problem is that I don't know how the System CD will rearrange the partitions when rebboting.

Do you know something about it?
I think eRecovery could be a good idea for customers, but Acer should think that user could also use their PC with other OSs and not with their windows and their configurations.

let me know something

thank you

I forgot:

to install linux I changed the D: partition from fat32 to ext3.
I heard that eRecovery need a D: partition with fat32

thanks
