restore failed now black screen

Hi

I have the 6530g around 1 week old and its running or was running vista.

I thought I would go back to factory default so I used the alt f10.

Restarted the laptop and when I saw the first screen with the press f2 I pressed alt f10

like I had done once before. The screen went black with a flashing dash in the top left

hand corner and that’s all it did.

now when I turn it on I only get the back screen

I know the hidden partition is there but how can I get it to boot.

Oh and I don’t have the default burnt to disc that’s why I was doing the restore so

I could burn one.

Thanks

 

Ok.... manage to get the options up and running using a disc from another acer and when I tried to load the default image it gave me a path not found error.

This in turn let me restart the laptop. Great!!!!!!!

Now if I can find the correct root to the default image it should work.

I went in to disc management

It’s got 3 partitions

First one is unlabeled and is 10gb capacity and 10gb free
Second one acer (c 111.44gb capacity and 69.38 free
Third one data(d 111.44gb capacity and 111.06 free

So the second has 42.06 used and as I have installed 1 to 2 gb of software I would think the default image would be some where on that one.


Does anyone know how I can find it and how to find the file path

Thanks
