How to Restore an Acer Aspire One Computer

Posted on by

With most laptop computers, you can restore the OS back to factory settings by using a recovery disk. The Acer Aspire One series of netbooks do not have an optical CD or DVD drive, so a recovery disc is not an option. Instead, the Aspire One series includes a built-in partition on the hard drive that already has all of the recovery information. You can quickly restore your Acer netbook back to its original condition by accessing the partition and running the recovery tool

Method A:

 

  1. Consider what data you still need from your Acer Aspire One’s hard drive. Save the files to an external USB device.
  2. Restart the Acer Aspire One’s operating system. Wait for the Acer logo to appear on the LCD screen.
  3. Press the “Alt-F10″ keys at the same time to bring up the recovery menu. Press “Enter.”
  4. Click “Next.” Follow the prompts that appear on the screen to restore the operating system back to factory settings.
  5. Use the drop-down boxes to select the time zone and language information for your Acer Aspire One. Restart the netbook when you are prompted to finish restoring the computer.
  6. Connect the external USB device to your Acer Aspire One and transfer the data you saved earlier back to the netbook.

 

Method B:

 

It is important to use the right recovery software. Some undelete programs are designed only to restore photos which have been deleted.  While some others can not only recover photos undeleted but also those corrupted, lost or formatted. Here I recommend WiseRecovery to you. WiseRecovery can do a scan and show the photos need to be recovered so that you can choose which one you need to recover. This makes the recovery more efficient and convenient!
