    move recovery media files to bootable USB drive


    Hi there, new here!
    Recently, I deleted all my partitions by accident, and I just received my recovery CDs from Acer for my netbook.
    I was wondering, is there a way to transfer the content from the recovery CDs and make a bootable USB stick?


    Thanks in advance.

    Try this:
    USB Windows 7 Installation Key Drive - Create
    Use method two

    Make sure your USB pendrive is bigger than Recovery disks.

    When I typed "clean" I got:

    There is no disk selected.
    Please select a disk and try again.

    I just want to make sure I followed everything correctly.
    I opened the command prompt and I typed "diskpart"
    Next, I typed "list volume" and my USB drive showed up on the list.
    Next, I typed "select volume g".
    Finally, I typed "clean" and I got the above message.


    What am I doing wrong?

    EDIT: I tried "clean volume g" with no luck.

    If you have a single DVD which contains the Recovery media for the OS reinstall (not the drivers disk - get the latest drivers from the Acer SUpport Downloads webpage for your model) you can use UltraISO trial version to have a graphical picture of what you're doing writing the DVD to flash stick.

    On File tab, open DVD. On Bootable tab, write Disk Image. Format flash stick using button. Then Write.
