Restoring Acer Iconia W510 from DVD provided in BOX

Dear every one,

I cam into Problem with my tablet and i decided to restore it from my DVD that was provided in the BOX.

1- First I disabling "Secure Boot" in the BIOS, after i entered the supervisor password, because i can not disable it until I set up the password. Also you need to change the Boot sequence start with USB CD, USB HDD then Windows Boot. Then Just Save and Exit.

2- Then I copied the the System DVD files to PenDrive.

3- Get the USB Hub and attach it to the Tablet USB.

4- Attach both CD Drive and PenDrive the contain the System DVD to the USB Hub.

5- Start your Tablet.

6- The Tablet will boot from PenDrive, and start the Acer recover wizared and when it tray to copy files it will use the CD Drive and the Wizared will ask you to put the Recovery DVD Disc 1 first and disk 2 and so on, just follow the wizared after that.

This is the work around that I used to restore my Tablet.

Hope this will help you all.

Regards,

Omar

Just a note but I have found the W510 (and W3) to have very limited USB power so I use a self powered hub with wall wart when using with anything more than keyboard and mouse.
