    Try to replace install.wim

     

    you overwrote Acer standard partitions, installing another windows version.

    in my opinion you have 2 solutions:

     

    1) recover the Acer recovery and re-install the Acer version of windows 8.1

    2) wipe completly your HDD and re-install your version of windows

     

    if you have more than 4GB ram, you can install the x64 version for better memory management.

    check this about install.wim:

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/keithmayer/archive/2013/11/06/windows-8-1-unable-to-quot-copy-recovery-partition-quot-when-building-recovery-drive.aspx

     

    then resize the Acer partition and install your w8 PRO.

     

    please don't write with bigger font, i'm not blind not even dumb. Smiley Happy
