[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Netbook crashed need help

Posted: 2/25/2012 7:01:11 AM EDT

My wife has an Acer Aspire netbook. She had some trouble and we did the ALT F10 to restore factory settings. It appears now that soemthing in windows 7 is screwed up and it will not finish the install. It is now in an endless restart loop. I can get into the bios. We do not have a recovery disk.

Anyone have any advice?

I've got a external USB Hard drive I could put an ISO file on but Acer does not provide the OS with their net books.

its been a few years, I think I booted on linux, browsed the windows directory, hooked up a usb dvd burner and made a recovery disk.

If you go the .22 short route, be advised that the round will not penetrate the netbook if it is closed. The short round will penetrate both the screen and the key board portions individually. Just a PSA, really.

I tried the restore option one last time and it appears I've got the OS back but I have nothing left of her files and she never backs anything up.

try one of the file recovery software out there, should be able to recover at least some of your files. AFAIK an OS "recovery" does not mean the entire HD is scrubbed and a OS re-installed from the recovery partition.

you might try recuva, download it at filehippo.com. if your data hasnt been over written, you might get some of it back.
