PTEDIT32 WINDOWS
Close the command prompt window restart again Windows go into the bios and reactivate the D2D recovery.
PTEDIT32 INSTALL
Seek these two files mbrwrdos.exe and rtmbr.bin once localised open a command prompt and launch this command mbrwrdos.exe install rtmbr.bin, this will install the Acer MBR. Restart and open a session with an administrator account, you should be able to navigate to the PQservice partition. As long as partition PQSERVICE is present or that you can put the hand on the necessary Acer files you can reinstall the MBR of Acer.įirst method : on a functional Windows system:ġ disable the D2D recovery option of the bios.Ģ open a Windows session with an account administrator.ģ Download, unzip and launch partedit32(registration required for download).Ĥ Identify the Pqservice partition by its size (at the bottom of the partedit window there is a partition information box) it is a small sized partition approximately 2 to 6 G nce made change the type of your partition into 0C and save. Your only hope will be to have in your possession Acer Recovery CD/DVD.Īnd the third causes : the Acer Master Boot Record (MBR)was damaged or replaced by non-Acer MBR. It will not be possible to use the D2D recovery. The solution : If you did not previously make a backup of your system by making an image disc. The second cause : in this case hidden partition PQSERVICE was erased or damaged, or you replaced the disc and in this case it is not present. The solution : enable the function and try to press keys ALT+F10 during the starting of the computer. The first cause often comes owing to the fact that function D2D Recovery is disable in the bios (menu principal). And sometimes for various reasons this system ceases functioning. This system launches out while pressing keys ALT+F10 simultaneously.
Markymoo: Most Acers use the same hidden partition so the golden info below is a good solution.Īs you know, the Acer computers and those of other manufacturers are now delivered with a system of restoration installed in a hidden partition of your hard disk. Just call them, explain the situation and they'll instruct you what to do.Īnd no, there are no restore discs AFAIK, I tried that way back then, even international, they just weren't available. In that case I'm sorry, but the only way to get back the hidden partition will be to send in the notebook to Acer. If you have indeed nothing else to fall back to, like an image or something like that, you're screwed. Next thing I did was getting over to Acers ftp site and pulled all files and applications they had for my notebook and OS, and burned those to a CD and another one for back up.
(which does BTW nothing else than restoring the notebook to the state it was in when you bought it.) Rebooted and voila, back in business, albeit without that (useless) hidden partition.
PTEDIT32 SOFTWARE
I repartitioned like I wanted it, restored the image and put back the software and all other things on D. I had images of the systems partition and all software from the D drive. In my case I said 'screw ya', no dime from me. The answer was like I explained above: they will put a so called preload on the hard disk drive, that one inludes the hidden partition. I called them once to ask about this 'problem'. Yep, I know what you're probably thinking, but the bad part about that is it will probably cost money. If it indeed is, you'll have to send it in to Acer. Only difference with my situation was I didn't care a thing about it.Īnyway, are you absolutely sure that hidden partition is indeed gone, blown away to the gulag Re: ACER ASPIRE HIDDEN PARTION RESTORATION
