    Gunnar do you have access to a Win7 Installation DVD to do the clean reinstall I suggested?

    I get the impression the acer cant find the boot files. So, I am **not** supposed to have the boot files on the same partition as the OS?
    I believe that W7 will normally install a 100Mb partition to a bare drive for booting, and that Acer has done this as well, at least as I said with my own Acer Netbook.

    Then the Recovery disks appear to NOT be for recovering to a bare drive, but rather only to the C: partition.

    Maybe I can try to mount my own recovery disks (3 .iso images I made and set aside) and see if I can tell what's in there.

    When All Linux code is deleted using CLEAN ALL, the Acer Recovery Disks will make 3 partitions.
