Hello Umairbt,

In the bios utility, D2D must be enabled.

Otherwise look this topic: The hidden partition

So I looked at the link and my question is that when I will unhide my recovery partition how will I then copy it to USB to perform a restore...

Hello,

Before I'd like to check your hidden partition.

Can you post a screenshot of your Disk Management window?

Umairbt

here is the shot and another shot showing the partitions with easeus partition manager..i think that the push button reset is the recovery partition in the 2nd shot...

Hello,

To enter in bios setup utility, press F2 when you see the Acer screen.

Have you tried to "load default settings" with F9+Enter and to "save and exit setup" with F10+enter?

Otherwise, you'll find a lot of information about Windows Recovery Environnement

The last solution is to buy the erecovery media to the support of your country.

Note:

Recovery partiton: Windows RE (recovery environment)

Push Button Reset partition: Recovery image

IT JUST KEEPS ASKING TO INSERT RECOVERY MEDIA WHEN I TRY TO RESET IT IN RECOVERY MENU I CANT SEEM TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT RECOVER FROM THE PUSH BUTTON RESET PARTITION...

Can you tell us what model you have? Assuming it's Windows 7, I would point you to the article below on how to create recovery media, can you tell me which step you're having issues and exactly what the error is?
