Can't Restore Using USB Stick

[Sean]

Hi,

I have successfully created a USB recovery stick but when I run it I only get to Step 5A.

On that screen there is no partition for me to choose the list is blank.

The system will now boot into the “Acer Recovery Management” utility which you can use to restore the
Aspire One.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the Acer Recovery Management for Aspire One. This program will assist you to create a
recovery USB drive. Press [->] to continue, or press [Exit] to quit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Press the next button [->] to continue.
Step 5- A
Select the partition on which the software needs to be restored. By default this is the following:
Whole Disk 1 /dev/sda/ 7695MB
After selecting the partition the system will display a message that all data on the partition will be
removed. Press OK to continue
Step 5- B
As a final step the system will start to copy data from the USB drive to the SDD drive of the Aspire One.
This process will take about 20 minutes, depending of the speed of the USB drive.
After copying files, remove the USB drive and reboot the system. Remove the USB drive first!

The reason I am trying to restore is because I get an error message saying....

PXE-M0F - Exiting PXE ROM.
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key

Hi Sean

Sounds like if it can find the hard disk system and if you can not search your HD, then possibley it is defective in some way like a loose or bad cable/connector going to your HD from your motherboard.
