RE
First, you need to back up your documents, photos, and videos to D: Acer data, or to a USB or other storage device. Then turn off your PC, disconnect it, and restart it. As soon as you see the ACER logo, press ALT + F10. This will open the eRecovery window. The default password is 000000, six zeros using the numeric keypad. Then choose "restore action" and select "restore to factory settings." Let it run without touching anything until the end; there’s no need to enter your license key again.
After that, restore your connection, reinstall an antivirus (uninstall the other one first), and immediately check for updates via Windows updates.
See you later!

Hello!!

First of all, you need to provide a bit more specificity to your question.

What exactly do you want to do? Format your system to reinstall an OS that you have? Do you want to set up your machine for Dual Boot? Do you want to erase Vista to install XP?

Please specify your problem, your machine configuration ("hardware") as much as possible, and I will be more than happy to help you ;)

First of all, it's kind of you to respond to me.
All I can tell you is that I want to reset my PC, restore it to new condition like when I bought it.
Sorry, I can't specify better... ^^
Thanks in advance.

If you want to format your machine, without any further specifications, you just need to put your OS CD in your machine, restart and boot from your CD, choose to install, even if a version is already present, delete the partition, format your hard drive with the correct file system, and reinstall.

Stéphanie89 · Answer

I don't have any OS CD. When I purchased it, I didn't receive a CD. :-(

Good evening Stéphanie89, Check out what "Tommy" told you in his post 4, you should have it in eRecovery. See you!

Stéphanie89 · Answer

I have eRecovery

Stéphanie89 · Answer

If I understood correctly, eRecovery backs up all your files on your PC (photos, folders, etc...) Because I put all my folders and photos in data...

Anonymous user · Answer

RE Yes, only the C: partition (where your Windows is installed) is completely erased to reinstall Windows as it was on the first day you got it. The other partitions are not affected. See you!

Stéphanie89 · Answer

I’m going to trust you. I hope I'm not going to lose all my files that I uploaded on Data while formatting :-(

RE No problem, I have an Acer (desktop), I reinstalled it myself a month ago. If the password is not correct, post it again and I have the solution. See you!

Stéphanie89 · Answer

If I understand correctly, I restart my PC when the green bar-shaped logo appears, and I press Alt + F10 at the same time, and that will open the eRecovery window. Then I need to enter the password, which is 6 zeros, after which I choose the restore action and then I select restore to factory settings. I let it run and then I reinstall everything?
And what is the numeric keypad when you talk about the 6 zeros?

Anonymous user · Answer

RE
ALT + F10 before the Windows launch bar, practically at the beginning, you should have a window marked ACER. Yes, then do as you did when you got it, connection, updates, the settings of IE7, your email
and the programs you want to add. The numeric pad is the keyboard with the numbers, if you don't have one, use the other number keys but not with the O (letter) key.
A+

Hello Stéphanie
Glad I could help you and thanks for the feedback. Now that you know this program, you should make some factory reset backup DVDs, it could always be useful if one day you can no longer access this kind of reinstallation.
See you!

Good evening purgotik Is it not a problem, does your PC still start up to the desktop? See you later!

Hello, I have the same problem as you; due to an issue, I would like to reformat my computer.
However, Acer refuses to send it to me because the key numbers are illegible and I do not have a recovery CD.
If I buy a Vista CD, will I be able to reformat my PC?

RE Download and burn this program: ftp://download.tuxfamily.org/toutou/ToutouLinux-431.iso a CD is enough, you just need to burn the image, it's an ISO. Then, put it in the tray and restart, you may need to change the boot order, let it do its thing, it adjusts itself, just change the language. http://toutoulinux.free.fr/ *Restart with the ToutouLinux CD in the tray (you may need to change the boot order for it to start, on Acer it should be F12 or the indication on the ACER logo at startup) *Let it work to gather information and store it in memory. *Almost everything is pre-configured, except you need to change the language with the arrow keys, press enter each time it's requested. No installation needed, do not change the option. *Close the red warning window and click OK for the next steps. *At the bottom left, you have all the partitions, the one we're interested in should be the "SD1", just click on the icon to open it. *In the window, check if you see the file "AIMDRS.DAT", right-click on it, open in text (also click on the eye in the top bar, it's to display hidden folders) *Your password is here, delete it and simply type 000000 (six zeros) in eRecovery. If you decide to keep it, some letters may change, the keyboard is in QWERTY with eRecovery, check the letter correspondence here: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correspondance_entre_le_clavier_qwerty_et_le_clavier_azerty ----------------------------------------------- If this file is not present, create it *Right-click in the window of this partition, New, keep the selection in blue, type AIMDRS.DAT directly, click on create. *Right-click on this new file, open in text, Either type 000000, (that's what I have on mine), or type: [MyData] PD= HT= *Click on close, in the window that opens, click on Save and close the window. *Right-click again on the file you just created, Properties, uncheck Write and close everything. *Remove the CD from the tray, click on Menu at the bottom left, session, and Shut down or Restart. *No need to save, press Escape to close everything.

Reuh!! I wanted to thank you for the advice given, especially "lacharpente" for your tips on requesting the PC to restore it to factory settings. However, the password issue was a mistake due to my absent-mindedness, as I often make mistakes, which I say without boasting is not my usual habit =)  There it is... Thanks again to everyone and especially "lacharpente" for your advice...  Best regards: louloudu14  P.S. = I am young, but I aim to become a computer scientist!!! Good luck!
