I have a Acer Aspire 5532-5535 that had Windows 7 on it. The previous owner let his anti virus lapse and was hit bad by a virus. Wiped out the operating system and boot sector. I was able to re-format the hard drive and installed a temp operating system. He did not make a recovery CD. How can I access the reserved drive to re-install the operating system?

Recovery partitton would be erased if any other operating system was installed . Please do recovery by purchasing recovery disc. Please click the following link to purchase recovery disc.

I just checked and Acer no longer has Recovery Disk for the Aspire 5532.  I was told that they do not offer those more than 4 years after the prodcut release.  It appears that Acer is now in the ultra cheap and disposable market.  I will never buy another Acer product.
