Muel Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) Do you never bother with Google Dave? At least say what version of Windows it is. Edited August 13, 2010 by Muel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Generally, put a windows install disk in, boot from the cd on startup and format the disk when you get the option Follow the instructions and it should be all pretty self explanatory. Would be worth downloading the drivers from the acer website beforehand so you can get up and running without having to get onto the net. Once windows is installed download the latest service pack and install it, run windows update and away you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spelling Bee Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Before you do that mate, to save you time and effort you should delete all the files you dont use ie films music pics ect. then download CCleaner. CCleaner is really good and will get rid of allsorts you dont need and stuff you never knew you had. I did it on my mates lappy for him the other day, it cleared 10gig of crap and his lappy runs like new now. I use ccleaner every 3 days to keep my comp running smooth. Heres a link for the download, mate, and use the first download- that's the best one... Once you've got it downloaded (only takes a minute or 2) if you need any help on how to use it let me know, although it's very easy to use. http://download.cnet...Windows,Webware For the love of all things honey coated, please put at least a small amount of effort into your posts. Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. P.S. Spelling Bee also uses CCleaner in his hive and it works wonders for the cleanliness of Spelling Bee's computer.

trialsmax04 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 There is a keyboard shortcut, i think its either F7 or F10 that brings up Acer E-Recovery. A google search will guide you through it, but if your laptop has Acer E-recovery just start that and run it through. Mine didnt require the backup disks i had made.

JT! Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 If you have the original CD that came with the laptop it's a doddle. Just put it in and if nothing comes up restart your computer. Then just follow the steps though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
