Acer Aspire One 522 - eRecovery error 0x241, stuck at 22%

Error code 0x241

is there anything I can do? Warranty ended almost a year ago.

did you make the driver and factory default backup disks when you bought the machine? (I didn't and now on my 725, I cannot boot up at all!!) If so, follow the procedure in Acer Recovery Management amd pray!
