A few questions about my partitions.

reece86 said:

might do that, just googled that partition and it said
"It's normally a 'Hidden Partition' use extensively on laptops.
Instead of having Rescue and Restore discs the PQSERVICE partition holds all you need to get you back to the day your laptop was delivered."

so because i have the windows 7 disc i wont need a partition for recovery does that sound about right?

Hey Reece,

Like SIW2 mentioned, having a Vista recovery option is a good idea.

Check the Acer site and see if they have a way to put the recovery partition onto a DVD. Then you'll have it if you sell the lappy or for any reason need the Vista back.
Also see if they will send you a Vista recovery DVD, some OEMs will at no charge.

You might want to get something on DVD.

EDIT: Guess I didn't look at the snip close enough

yeah thanks for that guys I will give acer an email asking them, how stupid is it that you dont get disc's anymore.

I gave you a link to the Acer website on your thread about getting drivers.

Besides drivers, they should have some information on getting the Vista recovery DVD.

Just looked at the eRecovery file on the Acer site and it's only 15MB, so it's not the Vista recovery file.

They should send you the recovery DVD, I would hope.

Thanks Dave, you guys have been such a big help, sorry if i have asked some stupid questions.

You're welcome.

The only stupid question is the one you don't ask

Let us know if you get the partitions adjusted the way you want them.

Very good!! Glad to see that you're making progress! You know where to go if you run into any problems..
