Reinstall I think

[Chark]

I just tried another f10 and got into the recovery and of course it failed but I did manage to write this time.it says
Restore failed -Error code=0x45d(WIMAapply image cannot applyimage:the request could not be performed because of an I/Odevice error.)
Should I try the recovery disk

I just ran to my friend next door and made a recovery disk for 64 bit of which I have.will I lose most of my extras because I have win7 home and they didn’t?

Recovery or Rescue?
If recovery then NO since they are an image of their system and hardware. Your system and hardware is different.

Have you tried reseating the Hard Drive?

[Chark]

Don’t know how to research a hard drive
Could I do a recovery if the same..is a rescue different

No they are not the same.
I suggest that you contact Acer and get a proper set of recovery disk for your system and use those.

A recovery disc is any of various media containing a backup of the original factory condition or a favored condition of a computer as configured by an original equipment manufacturer or an end-user. OEM supplied recovery media are often shipped with computers to allow the user to reformat the hard drive and reinstall the operating system and pre-installed software as it was when it was shipped.

Rescue Disk is a removable disk that can be used to restart or rebuild a computer system that has crashed or been disabled; also called emergency disk, emergency rescue disk.

We own two Acer Aspires with Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit. One is a 722 and the other a V5.
Acer included a way to make the restore/recovery, program and driver disks in the All programs menu. I burned DVDs for both computers when they were new.

If you didn’t create them, then I guess you’ll need to go here and buy them

You’ll have to find the Canadian site.

Note: when you do a restore/recovery, the computer goes all the way back to the way it was when it left the factory. That means if you’ve owned the computer for 6 years (our 722) then you’ll have 6 years of Windows updates to install. OUCH!

these are methods to repair. That means you would not have to go all the way to the way the computer was when it left the factory.

Thank you for all your help. I’m bringing it to the shop and I’m never lending my computer out again

[Rustys]

Let us know what you find out.

When you get it back and fixed will strongly suggest that you make ither an image or complete backup of the system. That way if the system ever goes south again you have a way to recover they system back to a working state. Which we can definitely assist you in doing.

[Chark]

Thank you. I will let you know what they said. I’m very upset about this

[plodr]

I loaned a laptop computer to a friend and before I loaned it, I made an image.
When I got it back, I restored the image and didn’t have a problem.

@Chark do you have any update for us?

[veeg]

I’m sorry it took me so long to get back to you.the computer was full of hair and burnt the HD out. So I bought a new HD and reinstalled my windows. All is good now. Thank you everyone for their help
