Hello,
I bought an Acer Aspire one Netbook (No DVD/CD drive), it is only 2 months old but the unit is bso (whatever that means) with a registery error on boot, how do I go about recovering the software? I am not computer minded so would need extra help! I have Windows XP installed.
Regards,
Black-Islander.

reinstalle from a hidden drive built on the netbook. To start the Acer eRecovery:

1. Tap the Alt and F10 keys together during Power-On Self-Test (POST while the Acer logo is being displayed).
2. When prompted with a boot screen, hit the Enter key.
3. After the Acer eRecovery program has loaded follow the prompts to reinstall the operating system.

If the ability to reinstall from the previous method is not available or fails during the recovery, recovery of the operating system will need to be from Acer Recovery Media. In order to recover the system using Acer Recovery Media an external optical disc drive is required.

1. Press F2 to enter BIOS Setup during Power-On Self-Test (POST while the Acer logo is being displayed).
2. Arrow over to "Boot".
3. Ensure that the external optical drive is plugged into a USB port.
4. Refer to on screen instructions to set the first device to "USB CDROM".
5. Press the CD-ROM drive eject button and insert the System CD.
6. Close the CD-ROM tray.
7. Press "F10", then press "Enter" to save the changes and reboot the system.
8. The netbook will boot from the Acer Recovery Media, follow the prompts to reinstall the operating system.

Note: If you do not have a set of Acer Recovery Media they may be purchased at the online recovery CD order form.
