How to reformat an acer laptop  

hi there, you can go to this URL http://support.acer-euro.... so you can download all the drivers and utilities needed for your laptop. you can check your model number at the lower right part of your screen, it's embossed.

be sure to list all the name of those drivers before reformatting your disk.

Several weeks ago, I also have the same problem. I tried to search on ACER website and do some download on driver. It is not help to solved some error message during restarting. When I have send to ACER service centre for repair that they suspecting only Motherboard? It is really costly (price closed to brand new laptop). I tried to install ubuntu 9.04 linux that it's work with no error.

well when you first start your laptop you will of been prompted to make a set of back up discs I know not many people do it tho.

I assume you havent, as if you had you could use the back up discs that you will of made on the first start up of your pc.

If not then have you spoken to acer am sure they be able to advise you better than on here.

Hi, if you have the other computer, grab the gparted .ISO and burn it to a CD using ImgBurn. When you load up the computer, go to the boot menu and select CD/DVD drive, follow the instructions and the rest should be obvious once you get into the Live CD program.

One nightmare of doing a reformat is identifying and reinstalling the device drivers. This is where the recovery CD comes in handy but since you have none you have no choice but to rely on 3rd party program. One good program for that is DriverGrabber from MajorGeeks.com. It grab all you drivers with one click and place it in a folder where your DriverGrabber.exe is located(I recommend placing it in your USB). Before doing the reformat make sure you have all the installation CD of the programs in it. Good luck.

Go to the Acer website look up your model (on your Toshiba laptop that's working of course!) and search for the recovery CDs (DVD). You can probably purchase them or they may have an option to burn them. You'll need to get all the drivers and utilities. Have you considered going into save mode to search for the problem? You could do some recovery operations before reformatting the whole computer, right?

You need to have its restoration cd if you have or if not you have to purchase a licensed software from Microsoft. Then configure your bios in order to boot from your dvd drive and follow screen procedure to format your pc. Remember that all files will be deleted try to make a backup first before planning to format you laptop.

I have a ACER laptop and has been affected with Arshan virus... pls.. can someone help me out................

I think now any new computers of all brand are not provide the back up disks. They all put in your harddisk, you can use the special button to reformat your computer. If you don't know how to do, you just ask the engineer of Acer to help you to rebuild the system. And if you want th back up disks you should make it youeself.
