Hi, I used Acer Backup Manager to create a backup of my Iconia W700. I created a image backup of the entire disk to a external USB HDD. Then I made it to a recovery USB media. And after that i followed the advice to make UEFI -> Legacy Bios. True it was and it booted on the USB HDD and saw the bootable Acer Backup Manager. Trying to select the CAL file. I'm unable to press "OK" as it is greyed out. Why am i not able to do a recovery? Why can't I select the file? Basically the only thing I'm allowed to do is to exit.. So you guys create a really simple backup tool minus the recovery function? Please help me, how do I do the recovery? I also tried making a second recovery USB key, thinking it might be something stupid that it can't recover files from same media, but that wasn't it. Still samme issue. OK button greyed out when trying to browse for the CAL file.

    ok, you need a mouse connected to be able to choose the CAL file. You can't do it with just a keyboard Smiley Sad Feels a bit stupid that a mouse is required for a simple operation..

    An Iconia w700 has only one USB port and a hub doesn't work for booting. How to boot from the USB HDD AND select the cal-file with the mouse?
