gohaun Posted August 1, 2009 CID Share Posted August 1, 2009 Quote from: gohaun on Today at 01:32:17 PM Awesome idea on the utility stuff. But i still need a program that will see the hidden partition and let me copy it. I have a win98 startup disk, but i need to copy the partition with the recovery info on it first so i have it before i "Fdisk" it. I find it intriguing that gparted doesn't see it. Iv'e never had it NOT see any partition. from my experience, if gparted doesn't see it, it's not there. I will have to check this out real fast. see if it will see it, i must have missed that post thank you Mudmanc4. Go to the page I gave you ( http://support.acer-euro.com/empowering_technology/utility2.html ) download this and install it first then the erecovery and it should let you make a recovery disk with all the drivers and it will be stock just like when you bought it. First: Acer Empowering Technology Framework Version 2.03.2015 (install this utility first) Second:Acer eRecovery Management Version 2.0.2021 Edit: If the recovery partition is still there this should work!!!! I will check this out after, I dont have access to the machine until sunday now. I have let a friend borrow it, and he wanted to try vista on it (which is what came with it, i installed one of my many version of xp that i have) So i will update everyone on what did what on sunday more than likely, thank you all.

coknuck Posted August 1, 2009 CID Share Posted August 1, 2009 Does the machine have an OS right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gohaun Posted August 1, 2009 CID Share Posted August 1, 2009 Yeah, it has XP on it right now. But i dont think its the one i put on there. I think they had a family member redo it or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug7272 Posted August 1, 2009 CID Share Posted August 1, 2009 My main objection at this time is to get to the erecovery partition so that i can reinstall it on the machine. Right now i dont have money for the CD or I would just buy that and get it over with. So i need a program that can see the hidden partition, and then make a backup of it (ISO or RAR) whatever will work. Gotcha! Lemme see. What is the exact make and model of your computer?

coknuck Posted August 2, 2009 CID Share Posted August 2, 2009 Look at this page ( http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/downloads.html ). It seems Erecovery is the same for all Acer Products. You can find the manuals here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
