Whether you are the original owner or not doesn't matter. The PC came with an OS and you are still entitled to that OS. You may have to purchase Recovery Disk but I see no reason why Acer wouldn't be entitled to help.It has a partition that has a file called USER PC which may be the recovery but when I use repair/f10 it dosent recognize it. I think your right about contacting Acer but I am not the original owner.
Legally, a pre-installed computer comes with a disk. The right for a disk, or warranties or anything, do not disappear with a sell of the product. Just like cars, mobile phones, boats, cameras or anything: the rights remain.It has a partition that has a file called USER PC which may be the recovery but when I use repair/f10 it dosent recognize it.

Ok, shall do, but I think the problem was the wrong OS. It should be Vista so when I can find a copy of Vista Home Premium I will give it a shot first.
thanks
There are better links - or at least ones not associated with a hackers site like MDL - see here....
Microsoft
Funny you should say that, I followed your link and noticed the links contained within Heidoc.net pages use the very same links as MDL, which is the site you classify as a hacker site.
I need to remember this. Thanks for sharing. To be honest those links were the only correlations I've had with the site. I never knew MDL was otherwise known as a hacker's playground.I prefer not to route people through hacker's sites because of the other stuff they may come across there - the site I link to fulfills that purpose admirably.
Your analogy is much flawed, IMHO.Not to forget rickbolinski, as user: it's not the end-users responsibility to get it working - like it would be a car owner's responsibility to get the car started? Or the light bulb buyer's responsibility to get the bulb lit? Big BLASTED NO: you buy a computer, and you're supposed to have it working - if they require that you're an engineer in order to understand it, they may not and cannot sell it as a consumer product.
This annoys me a great deal. Like seen in this Forum too: You have a question... the answer is you'll get ten questions: "What is, what was, when was whatever was..."
One word: responsibility.
Another word: position of responsibility - who's got it?
