3. Use the laptop's right arrow key to scroll to "Main." Confirm that the "D2D Recovery" is "Enabled." If the D2D option is "Disabled," scroll down to the option using the down arrow key. Press "Enter" to change the option to "Enabled."

I dont see start. it's a blank screen with a message saying no bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key. I tried the F2 button and the F12 button and I really dont know what I am doing. Please help I will like to restore my acer netbook back to factory settings if possible. I dont mind if I lose everything. Please advise. Thank you.
If it says "insert boot disk and press any key" im afraid your hard disk may have been broken.. boot disk usually refers to the disk were you put the operating system or your primary storage where the system usually stores all your files...im afraid it wont be as easy for you to reformat..better take it to some service center to have it repaired
first you go to google and download unetbooting,its an application which allows you to boot form a usb,it is very much easy to use.it will be in a zip folder,just extract it into your own folder.and run the program.you can use vista or windows 7 to format or make partition.you must go to bios settings to make it boot from usb

Create a System Rescue USB drive (Note: An alternative to the spyware-laden Daemon-tools for mounting the ISO file as a virtual CD-ROM is Virtual CloneDrive). If you have trouble with the System Rescue CD, you can try some other distros.
Reboot the netbook and go into the Acer BIOS settings. Change the boot settings to check USB first. Plug in your System Rescue stick, and restart the netbook.
Run “wizard”, and launch gtparted (icon towards the lower-left of the screen).
Delete partition 2, create a new one, then reformat it as NTFS
Mark partition 1 as bootable (right-click, edit flags). Remove USB drive.
Reboot into the Acer System Restore software. Choose to restore the system.
Plug the System Rescue USB drive back into the Acer netbook.
Reboot into the System Rescue CD/USB, go back into gparted, and flag the restored partition 2 as bootable.
Remove USB flash drive and reboot.
