How many Discovery Discs for an Acer 5742 should there be? I created the Recovery Discs when I first got the laptop, and I have 3 discs plus a Driver & Apps disc. I am in the process of doing a complete reset, and have reached 9% of "Updating System" and when I put the 4th disc (Drivers & Apps), I get the message "Please insert Recovery Disc 4 into optical drive, then press "OK" to continue

    Hi BobMassie,

     

    Unfortunately, I don't have a specific answer but generally it is 3 or 4 would tell you at the time of making the disks how many are required. Based on region, and specific OS requirements it could vary slightly.

     

    I might suggest trying to put the first disk back in to see if that allows the process to continue. if not, you may want to contact support to see if you can obtain a set of media from Acer.
