good question, one of the 2 400-450MB marked as recovery.

if you do a factory reset, using Acer recovery, you will revert to windows 8.

using windows 8.1 refresh, it will refresh your 8.1 installation but in your situation i would never do it, too much partition confusion.

Okay, makes sense. Thanks for the info.

What I've currently done is

1) Point WindowsRE to the 450MB recovery (guessing that the larger of the 2 is the Windows 8.1 recovery)

2) Left the Recovery Image location pointing to the 17GB Acer recovery

Acer Recovery Management seems to work fine, I'll post back when the drive is complete.

Does this look OK or is it horribly wrong? Is WindowsRE supposed to point to the 17GB partition or even to the 400MB partition (which I guess is Windows 8)?

i think it's good.

The recovery drive was successfully created, so it seems to work

Thanks for your help!
