Acer Aspire R7-571G. I re-partitioned Disk 1 using EasyUS for C: & D: error finding Recovery. He

I need to restore the system to factory default. When I tried, I got this error:

"Hard drive configuration is not set to the factory default. Restore aborted."

When I checked the partitions, the drive structure was as follows:

Disk 1 (GPT)                  File System:     Used:     Type:
1)                                Unallocated:    1MB GPT
2) :RECOVERY    NTFS    400MB     GPT (Unused Partition)
3) :ESP FAT32 300MB GPT (EFI System Partition)
4) :                              Other              128MB     GPT (RESERVED Partition)
5)    Unallocated 1MB     GPT
6) C: Acer NTFS    204.31GB     GPT (Data Partition)
7) Data                     NTFS             146.48GB    GPT (Data Partition)
8)                                Unallocated:    97.66GB    GPT
9) Smiley Tongue ush Button Reset: NTFS               16.50GB    GPT (Unused Partition)

Disk 2 (GPT) File System: Used: Type:

1)                               Unallocated:    1MB    GPT
2) :                             Other    7.46GB    GPT (Unused Partition)
3)                               Unallocated:     14.91GB    GPT

1) How can I find or get to the Recovery Partition?

2) If not possible, can I reinstall Windows from scratch and remove all those partitions, or what becomes of them?

I'm not sure how Acer or Windows handles the Main 500GB HD and the 24GB SSD when a reinstall is done.

Can anyone explain what happens? Thanks for your help.

Seems like the partition labelled 'recovery' has somehow been wiped. You may have to order Acer recovery media.

Hi,

Apart from recovery Partition which is missing I also find Some Partition on the HDD not assigned, so as JACKE has Suggested you need to get Recovery media, or use Recovery media if already created to install OS back to defaults
