Different OS...

Hello, I am wondering if that if I happen to install another operating system on my Acer Aspire One 8GB SSD Model, if I could revert back with the recovery CD's that came with the netbook. I have Windows XP Home Edition SP3.

 

Well I read the whole problem of yours.One of my friends have the same model and OS.WE have tried the same process over there but we didn't get such any error.Would you please describe the problem more briefly?

 

It's not an error. I am wondering if I replace my XP OS, if it is possible I could revert back to XP... I am thinking of putting on a Cut down version of Windows 7 like Tiny7...

 

Still no help? I am still unable to find the answer to my question -.-"

 

from experience from installing windows 7 ult on my netbook, you will not be able to use the d2d recovery to put windows xp back on without making a few changes. First of all when u installs any o/s do not delete the partion with the recovery files. it's around 10 gigs. pq---- something forgets whats it called. when windows 7 installs for some reason that partiton gets set to non active and when you hits f12 at boot it gives you an error. When i found out windows 7 was not my cup of tea, i downloaded a partition program and set the hidden recovery partition to active. (that was the only change i made, do not format) i restarted the computer and then started the recovery. bye by windows 7 ult, and thank god.

 

Hello, got this sorted out a while ago. I have the AOA110 SSD Model. Installed Windows 7 and deleted every partition. Recovery was still available. The recovery must boot from the System CD that came with my Aspire One. Anyway's, only problem with recovery was when I installed Ubuntu. I had to use the Windows 7 Setup to create 7693MB (7.49GB) Partition, and the Partition showed up Acer's eRecovery. :lol:
