Recently purchased a WD Blue 500GB hard drive for my acer aspire 5750. I was using thr recovery disks to put windows on the new hard drive when on the third disk my laptop shut off. Now when i try to start again from the system disk, it tells me I must finish the operating system before i begin a recovery. Did i corrupt the hard drive that I just got?

    mikeybibbs,

     

    You did not corrupt the hard drive it just sounds like the install did not complete. I would recommend reformatting the hard drive, then try the install process again. When you format the hard drive make sure you format it as NTFS.

     

    Also are the recovery disks you are using ones you created or purchased from Acer?
