Acer Aspire V3 system re-installation using data recovery

belstar

Hello,

 

Due to my system being very slow I have decided to reinstall the system, however I failed miserably...

I was using the fabric instructions (alt + f10)

I followed all steps, same as on videos from ACER, the process seems to begin, it takes a looong time and the result is "there was a problem resetting your PC" with CANCEL button, then blue screen appears for about an hour and then it takes me back to problem solving menu. Another attempts get the same results and I have tried all what's possible.

I have browses through the whole internet looking for solution but no joy.

 

Then I have tried Ubuntu live cd and I started Gparted, see attached photos

 

So what should I do with the partitions highighted in red?

 

Are there any other solutions possible to start the system afresh?

 

I know I can download a installation disk from microsoft website but I would rather not using it as I would need to download all drivers manualy and I do not want that.

 

I dont care about the data on the hard drives.

 

I have attached screens shots of SMART DISC for your attentiion .

 

Thank you in advance.

i think it's better if you remove it.

I would try Alt+F10 another time but gparted already gave you the answer, there's an issue with your HDD, a lot of sectors are damaged.

Hi, thank you for your response

 

I have few questions...

If I buy a new HDD and if I use some cloning tool sector by sector, will I be able to use partition recovery ?

 

What do you think about EaseUS Todo Backup Free. Are there any other programs that you would recommend?

 

What are microsoft reserved partitions  and esp for?

 

I have to say I am a bit disapointed, the laptop was barely used and the guarantee expired in January.

EaseUs will work, i hope you will be able to clone it without errors, since that kind of issue, normally, became worse during HDD use and cloning is a very intensive task.

 

Microsoft reserved partition:

ESP partition (EFI):

as you wrote, you can use a Microsoft downloaded installation media, about drivers, most of them will be downloaded automatically by windows update, you just need to download them if missing and a pair of Acer softwares.

Thanks a lot for your help!

 

One question remains...do I removed the faulty partitions before cloning?

 

I really appreciate your input.
