I cant get vista to recover on my acer laptop?
I don't know what happened but my laptop if screwed up. It will not boot into vista, just to what i call recovery mode. (where you have several options on fixing the problem which i cant get to work) i used the recovery cds but nothing. ALT-F10 will not work either, it just freezes, im stuck. what can i do? Also, i already called acer and they won't help because its no longer under warranty.

You might have bad hard drive.

what have you done? any scans for virus's, malware or spyware? That would be my first choice, then if none of that works then the recovery cd's, maybe find a reputable IT person and try, yes it will cost. I can't understand acer not helping, it is their product they should help you either way, just charge you if out of warranty? I don't know if the recovery disc's are auto run ,they should be, maybe go into BIOS and check you boot order to set CD at first, save and exit then put you cd in and see if it boot from a restart?

ALT and F10 should work it is a primary function of Acer. Just in case you are not doing it right. Hold ALT and repeatedly press F10 when the Acer logo is on screen at start up .If you have never made any backups the only option you can select is factory. There is one thing if you have never used the ACER recovery before it may not be enabled . To enable press F2 when the ACER logo is on screen at start up .Your mouse will not work so use the arrow and enter keys. Select main from the list Then enable D2D recovery ( recovery from hard disc partition in "D) The recovery is kept hidden in the "D" drive to stop corruption from viruses etc If all this fails i suspect your hard drive is duff.

take it to a local repair facility for an evaluation
