    You might try a program like Acronis to back up...but I'll tell you that in using it with a 5810TZ the recovery didn't work. That was running IDE mode, in XP. I haven't tried it with Vista.

    I recently got a 6930g, my advice is if your going to go to the trouble of doing a clean install do it with Windows 7 - 64bit version.

    Get all the correct drivers together first, most of them can be downloaded on the Acer website. Some you have to D/L direct from the device manufacturer though.

    Not sure about what to use to get rid of the hidden partitions, I left them alone and kept the 2 main partitions as well.
