Aspire 5600U Bios
Hi
My Aspire 5600U AllInOne with W8 and Bios P11-A4 2.1 version 2.15.1227.
My problem is that I can't boot from DVD. From Acer's page I get the explanation that I need to change the Bios from UEFI to Legacy BIOS (they write: Select Boot and Select "Bios mode" as Legacy). The problem is that this option does not exist ("Boot mode").
Can anyone explain.....

1. Enter Bios from startscreen (Delete)
2. Select "Authentication" (right key)
3. Select "Secure Boot" and set it to Disabled
4. Select "Boot Option" (right key)
5. Select "Launch CSM" and set it to Allways
*1 [6. Select "Boot Menu" and set it to Enabled]
[7. Select DVD, Removable Device or LAN as 1. Boot Device]Press F10 and Yes
*1 [Press F12 from startscreen to select Boot Menu]NB!! Remember to set back 3 and 5 when you are finished another boot device.

This is not working for me! I puchased the recovery media. I had to replace the hard drive in my 5600U. When i boot to he recovery media in UEFI mode, it tells me I have to boot in legacy mode. When I boot in legacy mode, it tells me I must boot in UEFI mode. I am so frustrated with this I am going nuts.
HELP!!!!

Hi Jamie:
I'm not sure what to tell you, I just had to do the same thing (replace the hard drive and reload from the recovery media) and it booted fine and reloaded without a problem.
Just in case you're using the wrong disc to boot, you have to start with the disc that says "System Disk" and in turn it will ask you to swap that for the 3 recovery discs and then the language disc.

That's why I am convinced they sent me the wrong recovery set. No offense, but obviously I know to start with the "system disk". Thank you for your input.0

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply anything nor do I know what your level of expertise is. The recovery media is like five discs and for me it was a coin toss wether to boot from Recovery disc1 or the system disc and I tried the system disc first and apparently that's the correct choice.
The system disc on the set I received from Acer (I had to order them from Acer) has this part number FD.DAYA0.01U, does yours say the same thing?
