Need help with creating FACTORY RESTORE.
People continue be totally ignorant and fall to read questions on many web sites, posting answers... Came here in hope finally solve my questions about factory restore. In many forums ppl free mixing terms, and here I also sow already some answers like that.

RECOVERY CD have nothings to do with REPAIR CD. Factory RECOVERY disks, about 3-4 DVD, need to bring exact condition to PC, like from store, with everything preinstall at factory. REPAIR CD/DVD it just bootable disk with some tools on that, size about 200-500 MB, what help boot system, bring CMD and blah, blah... IT NOT RESTORE OS SYSTEM AND APPLICATIONS TO FACTORY STATE. Periot.  Myself I find situation what am surprised. Windows 8 on Acer (maybe other also) systems give you only one option to copy recovery partition to USB around 16gb size. I repeat, USB only. What is no my way. When am tryed use DVD write,r it instead created REPAIR only disk, basically useless in many cases, at last for me, cuz I have much more powerful tools for this purpose. I still want to make FACTORY RESTORE DISCS from hidden recovery partition (on DVD's, I repeated it again) like it possible in Windows 7 PC's.
So plz, let me now is there possible in a normal, legal way to create a  FACTORY RESTORE DVD's on Acer E1 571-6680 Windows 8. And am asked about DVD's, not USB based... Or it not possible and limited to flash drive creation only?
Sorry for may English, it not native. Thx in advance.

Unfortunately, Windows 8 only provides the option to create USB recovery media. There is no option in Windows 8 to create a set of recovery DVDs. If you want a set of recovery DVDs, you can order them by contacting Acer technical support in your region.

The cost may vary by region. I recommend you contact your local technical support group to inquire about any costs associated with recovery disks.
