I have n Acer 5742-6639  windows 7 laptop and have lost my recovery disk.  Where can I get another one /or how can I reboot my computer.  I have another laptop with windows 7 (5542-1615) and tried to use the recovery disk from this computer but it did not work.  Can Acer supply another disk if I provide the serial #. 

thanks

    Hi

     

    so i go to the site and can i find anywhere that tells me how i get a recovery disk...nope just lots of pages on warranties and pretty coloured mice and lots of accessories for a laptop that doesnt work and needs a recovery disk...

     

    Do i have to phone up and speak to a human being.

     

    Just one button, one shiny button marked "Recovery disks", would be nice please.........

    no that didnt help, i dont know what URL you are using mate, but if i click the link i goto the UK acer site, that doesnt have that frontpage and if i drop the list of countries the states arent on it

     

    id post a picture myself but i cant be bothered sorting one out.

     

    maybe tomorrow, in the meantime, see if the UK version of the acerstore here

     

    http://store.acer.com/store/aceremea/en_GB/home

     

    has the link buried in it

     

    cheers

    it auto redirects you to the country you live in, if however you are quick enough, and im talking about 0.5 seconds, you can scroll down to the USA link and click it...

    Unfortunately, if you live in the UK, you wont be able to order from the United States site.

     

    If it is unavailable on your country specific store, there is not anything I'm going to be able to help with.

    well thats a cop out isnt it....

     

    I know it aint your fault, you have been helpful after all, but how can acer call themselves a world wide leader in technology when they cant and wont help someone who isnt in the states.

     

     

    Mind you when i entered the numbers in the box it told me a RCD wasnt available so sucks to be me.

     

     

    keep this post around just in case some other peep from the Uk comes looking for a RCD.
