Reinstalling Windows XP Acer Aspire One Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,

Last weekend, I bought an Acer Aspire One D-150. I decided to put Windows 7 on it. I can not find a copy of Acer's eRecovery Management anywhere on the internet. I have tried making an image of the hidden partition with Macrium Reflect but it's not bootable. I still have the hidden partition on my HDD, I just can't boot to it. if I hold ALT+F10, I get a "Change Boot Options" screen. 

I want to return this on the weekend because it was sold to me under false pretenses (I wanted an MSI model because it's better for me in a lot of ways, but they lied about the warranty on the MSI to get me to spend $50 more on the Acer). I need XP on it. Help? I need to install XP.

Hi,

did you manage to reinstall using recovery??

I did it for Aspire One 150X, by 
   start->bios prompt->Alt-F10-> recovery starts->the rest is up to you

Good luck

Dear Sir,

Please note that if you re-install XP you will lose all your data,

You will need the Windows XP installation disc!

Please do not forget to change the SATA mode on your bios!

Then you will need to boot the windows xp disc and follow the instructions!!

Install Windows on the C: partition

thanks

I'm know the asus has xp on the same recovery partition. You need to disable the fast boot function in bios first, then boot holding f9 to restart the xp install.

tomcat · Answer

Of course, for "ALT+F10" to work, you must have "D2D Recovery" in BIOS ENABLED, and "SATA Mode" on AHCI (all in Main Menu).
Cheers!

Hi. I'm haveing trouble with this!!! 
No matter when I press and hold ALT+F10, the damn thing goes to where you can choose safe-mode (and all that). whatever you choose from there it will begin to start up windows, then you get the Bluescreen and the whole thing restarts...

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me!!!

Overall, we believe organizations are doing pretty well getting off Windows XP, but we are speaking with many every week that have barely started and are beginning to panic.
