Hi...I have an Acer Aspire E15 that, to make a very long story short, I have no backup for and the machine will not boot.

Is there any way to get a windows (10) recovery/install disk from Acer? Or does anyone know how to get this machine back from it's current "doorstop" status, haha?!?! As of now, the HDD is completely wiped.

Thanks,
Andy B

    The ACER screen comes up but quickly moves to a blue "RECOVERY" screen saying your PC needs to be repaired……….

    Yes…the toshiba HDD shows in the BIOS.

    Use a Windows install flash drive in repair mode, you may have to enable the F12 boot menu in the BIOS first.

    Biilsey…right now my HDD is wiped clean. It was a complete mess so I have to format it. So it's empty.

    Do you know, is there any way to get a windows recovery/install disk from Acer or am I hosed?

    It depends on the age of the system. They tend to keep recovery media in stock for a few years, but not a really long time. If you are in the USA or Canada you can go to the Acer store and purchase recovery media (typically a thumb drive these days). Outside of those locales you have to contact Acer support to see if they can get you it. You can do a do a clean install with just the Windows install flash drive and potentially the iRST drivers for your chipset. Acer specific utilities can sometimes be downloaded form the support site, but licensed utilities from other vendors that are included in the standard build aren't usually downloadable.
