Acer :: Bypassing Program Installation When Returning To Factory Default

Apr 8, 2009

I'm trying to recover my friend's Aspire 5100 to factory default. I booted with the factory default CDs he had made. The problem i'm having is that when Vista starts up and the Acer programs are being installed (a 5 step process) the installation seems to freeze on step 4 (the eRecovery installation part)

I rebooted the computer and now when vista starts it begins trying to install the remaining 2 stages of the ACER setup.

Is there someway around this problem.

Basically, I'm wondering if i can eliminate this process and just install that stuff manually. Vista seems to have reinstalled fine, but i don't know how to get around the ACER setup.

I wrote Acer about the problem and all they could suggest was using the recovery on the hidden partition, which i'm pretty sure isn't there.

Acer :: Restore System To Factory Default

Nov 7, 2009

I am planning to restore my laptop to its factory default because of some problems like the "Windows Update" window is all grayed out. I tried finding solutions in the net but it doesn't solve the problem so maybe system restore may do it but inst going to remove all the programs, like MS Office? Are the files saved in drive D also be removed? My laptop has MS Office already when my mother bought it. I have Acer Aspire 5730z.

Acer :: ERecovery Custom Backup Vs Factory Default Backup

Jul 6, 2009

differences are between the two.

Does the factory default., only back up the files that were originally on the drive when I first bought it, regardless of what I install afterwards? and the Custom backsup everything? I noticed that Factory Default is 10GB, but the Custom is 29GB. This is confusing because I only install two small programs on top the Factory Default. WHat is the other 19GB?

I have a Aspire 6930G that came with 3 partitions.

After I make my backup image, so I still need the recovery partitions?

Dell Inspiron 1545 :: Unable To Restore Factory Default

Mar 11, 2013

This laptop has become very sluggish and I want to restore to factory default, however, contrary to the instructions on the website,when I press F8 I can get to a Advance Boot Options  menu where there is an option to repair your computer but if I select this is takes me only back into Windows no "list of system recovery tools is given"....

The other options are Safe Mode, Safe Mode with networking, Safe mode with command prompt, Enable Boot Logging, Enable low resolution video, Last known good configuration ( advanced), Directory Services Restore Mode, Debugging mode, Disable automatic restart on system failure, disable driver signature enforcement and start windows normally.                           

The only disks which came with the laptop ( bought new) were For reinstalling Cyberlink Power DVD DX8.3 Software for Microsoft Windows 7, P/N 5RMCO Rev A00 and  For reinstalling Dell Webcam Central Software...

Acer :: Backup/Factory Recovery Make Your Own Factory Image?

Jan 12, 2009

I have been given an Acer 6930G by a family member to setup. After realising there's 0 discs included with the laptop, the Acer pop up message tells me I have to make my own factory default image. I have successfully made it on 2 DVDs, my question is now in the manual there is nothing about how to use it, I was wondering if anyone can share any insight to me as to how it works.

Basically I know it is probably a bootable DVD as the root of the DVD suggests (several "BOOT" files) I was wondering how it actually looks like? I haven't tested it yet as the user was extremely desperate to get it running so I had to give it up the moment the DVDs were made.

If I put the DVD in and select to boot from it at start up (before getting into windows) does it take me to some sort of custom screen where I can SELECT that I want to reformat and restore the laptop? I want to know what options I am given and I can only assume that it's the same for most laptops.

And I can only assume again, that if I factory restore it, it will come back with Vista activated and all the initial bloatware again, along with all the drivers for it (so I don't need to go track them down).

This is all I need to know, I wish I can test it but I can't even get the laptop back now (until it breaks ...)

If someone can post their experiences with it I will be grateful, this is just more for reassurance than anything, and confirm my assumptions? Many thanks in advance!

EDIT: I have discovered that I can launch that recovery app by pushing ALT+F10, I have managed to wrangle the laptop temporarily to test and have discovered that I can choose from 2 back up options, but I dare not go any further, can someone tell me the next steps? One says factory default, and the other is user's backup.

I can guess that if I choose the first option, factory default, it'll ask for the DVDs I have created? And the 2nd option will restore a backup I made selecting the user option on the recovery app.

Acer :: 1810tz Reset To Default

Apr 19, 2010

I want to sell my 1810tz notebook because of different reasons, one is the buzzing noise problem over speaker or line-out. So is there any easy way in resetting the 1810tz drive C: to default state like out of the box state? There is a hidden partition 12Gb in size, is that a backup Windows 7 installation partition I can access while booting or so? And if yes, will it delete all data stored on the HDD just like clean installation?

Windows media player suggests I get compatible DVD media for the drive speed - I have used 3 types - all up to 16x.

What speed should they be and what media is recommended?

Acer :: Default Partition Size For TravelMate 8215WLM

Mar 4, 2009

I have the Acer TravelMate 8215WLMi, running on Windows XP Pro SP2, with RAM, 2GB DDR, and CPU 2.0Ghz, and Harddisk size is 160GB.

Previously, I tried to upgrade to Vista, but found that no really compatible with several softwares at this moments, and I decided to restore my system back to Windows XP Pro SP2, using the PQSERVICE, hidden partition.

However, I realize that I should have accidentally deleted the PQSERVICE hidden partition, and now my C: Drive is under NTFS one full partition 160GB. I now only left with the Recovery DVD which I initially prompted to burn.

I have the Spotmau 2008 DVD which allow me to create the hidden partition, and then restore back the Default Partition Size to the factory default. However, I do not know what is the size of each partitions.

Anybody have the TravelMate8215WLMi running on Windows XP Pro SP2, can help to check the actual size of the first partition "PQSERVICE" hidden partition, follow by the actual size of C: Drive parition in FAT32, and lastly the actual size of D: Drive in FAT32.

In short, I need the informations of the TM8215WLMI actual factory default partitions size:
1) "PQSERVICE" hidden partition, the actual size,
2) C: Drive Label "ACER" FAT32, the actual partition size,
3) D: Drive Label "ACERDATA" FAT32, the actual partition size.
4) How can I restore the data back to the "PQSERVICE" hidden partition after recreated?

Can I copy the full content from the initially burned Recovery DVD to the "PQSERVICE" hidden partition?

Acer :: Turn Off Default Wireless On Aspire 5741

Feb 12, 2015

I have an Acer Aspire 5741-5698 running Windows 7.  I never want to connect to the internet wirelessly.  I only want to connect rarely with a wired connection.  I can disconnect the wireless by pressing Fn+F3 but I never see a "Launch Manager".  The problem is when I turn off the computer and turn it back on, it defaults to connect wirelessly.  I went to Manage Wireless Networks in Control Panel and selected Manually Connect to my home Network.  That did not work.  How can I stop it from connecting automatically wirelessly?

Acer :: Vista Power Plan Don't Understand This Default Setting

May 24, 2009

Vista's defafault settings for "Power Saver" sets the minimum and maximum processor state as ZERO percent for battery. I don't understand this. If I open performance monitor the processor is shown as 80% max on AC power. If I disconnect the AC power while on "Power Saver" the monitor shows 40% max frequency. Why ZERO percent as default settings, to me that would mean it wouldn't even run.

Certainly for running light stuff it runs a lot cooler, the fan hardly cutting in at all.

Acer Aspire 2920 :: How To Reset Default Monitor (Laptop Screen)

Jan 6, 2015

I have an Aspire 2920 laptop with Windows Vista Home Edition O.S. It starts and works fine except that after I was using it with an external monitor (a flat screen tv) on the option to use external monitor, it only now starts thinking the monitor is the flat screen tv and does not recognizes the normal laptop screen. The laptop screen is now "pixeled" and only shows like 2/3 of its total width. I've checked in Control Panel and it has the flat screen registered as the "normal" monitor, but I can not way a find to tell the computer that the monitor is the same as usual and not the flat screen tv.
