I ordered Recover Disks from the Acer Store for my Aspire M3970-u5022, Windows 7, I guess you cannot call Acer to ask how long does the Recovery Process supposed to take utilizing the 4 disc's I received with Instructions.
Start Date & Time 9 Nov 2017 @ 3:38 PM - restore option "Restore Operating System to Factory Defaults (All data on C: drive will be deleted)"
I have followed On Screen Prompts, without interruption (power on this whole process) when prompted for System Disc 1 of 1, Recovery Disc 1 of 2, Recovery Disc 2 of 2, and Language Disc 1 of 1
Restore Progress with an Elapsed Time taking over 40 hours for Restoring System 100%, then Updating System 100%, then asking for System Disc 1, followed by the Language Disc, having seen the screen Restore Finished and the following actions
Setup is updating registry settings
Setup is installing devices (100%)
Setup is applying system settings
Your Software is being installed "Installing Intel Chipset Generic Driver" 3/25
Completed Logging Off
Setup is preparing your computer for first use 12 Nov @ 1:36 PM
and now 13 Nov @ 7:45AM is the same screen notification of "Setup is preparing your computer for first use"
No other Notification or indication when "Restore Operating System to Factory Defaults" will complete or how long it takes to complete. Not wanting to Re-Boot at this point, anyone having experience this process before utilizing the 4 Recovery Disc's ?
Thank you, Doc
