Where can I get my Windows 7 Starter OS for my little Netbook?
I have lost my Acer recovery partition for Windows 7 starter on my Acer Aspire Netbook, Model #532h. Therefore I am unable to reinstall Windows 7 Starter. I lost it by being so stupid as to install Ubuntu Linux on the little Netbook and forgetting to save or backup the recovery partition!!!! (BIG THUMP ON HEAD ADMINISTERED!!!!) Is there any way of getting a copy of Win 7 Starter from Acer or am I stuck with the Linux install on this machine. I tried to install another version of Windows from a USB key created with EasyBCD 2.3 and EasyUSB Creator but wound up with a basically blank blue screen. The blue screen tells me a file id missing andsays I am missing the File:\Windows\system32\winload.exe and gives the error code as 0xc000000f. So, am I done for?

Acer recovery media
if you are in the US you can buy it:
https://store.acer.com/en-us/extended/recovery/
if you are outside the US, you must call/email your regional Acer support service:

Thank you for the help and your links. Unfortunately all Acer Canada was willing to do for me was direct me to a very expensive third party assistance site that could not help me at all since I do not have a Win 7 disk. Of course, in my case if I had a Disk, I would not need help of any sort. Kinda looks as though I am going to have to check out the local Computer software people I know of that may be able to help me with my disk issue as I wish to do this legally so i can avoid licensing issues and all that.
