How to recover an Acer Aspire One
www.theacerguy.com Here I talk about how I recovered a LINUX Acer Aspire One A110 with just a USB Thumb Drive (any will do but make sure it’s at least 2GB). This is a how-to for anyone who has an Aspire One, has messed around with Linux, got lost and now needs to restore it to factory settings. Make sure you watch THE ENTIRE aspire one recovery video because there are sections where it gets a little technical and you have to work fast. *Note This installation / recovery only works with the LINUX models – for Windows XP, just use eRecovery (ALT + F10 when you boot up.* For the original article on The Acer Guy blog, click here: www.theacerguy.com

Hi TheAcerGuy!
I have seen your video and I had a problem when I tried following the steps to recover my dead Acer Aspire One:
When my computer reboots with the recovery CD inserted, the screen shows the same as on 2:08, BUT when I push the ‘Create Recovery USB’ option, it suddenly freezes on the 2:14 screen. The white bar doesn’t load and I have to switch off the computer.
I know you are very busy, but can you help me? What is the problem?
would this work for a xp netbook?

Question: Does the other computer have to be Acer also because my table pc “jams” in loading part (2:14) and i wont do anything after that.
Ps. i m using “not original” copy of the recovery disc that is my friends.
If you know the answer please respond.
Thanks!
Thank you. This helped a lot.
@2010dragonsden From Acer support: “”Select partition” is not a normal message because with Recovery for Linpus there are no partitions to recover as it recovers all the SSD. So probably you have partitioned the SSD space. To recover it now you have to clean all partitions first”
Hi Acer guy again,
Me CMD Cont….
So my recovery disc maybe busted possibly??? Can you direct meto a download possibly???
This is my kids laptop and she was using it yesterday until the power went off and when charged it just came up with the black screen.
I now see that this is a common fault on these notebooks.
Any help would be greatful.

Hi Acer Guy,
Your video is excellent and very easy to use however I am having a sereious issue. When I insert the 4gb flash card into the usb (powered off!) and then followed by the cd, Using your instructions the disc will go through to option 2 where it asks you to back up using a USB. Click 2 and proceed. It then takes me to the Acer one screen with the loading bar at the bottom. Thats it. It doesnt goto the bit where it asks you the USB port to send it to etc.. Can you help??
Regards CMD
I followed your video instruction and created a recovery usb flash drive. I inserted it
into my acer aspire one and was only able to go as far as “select partition“, when I
push the ok button the screen went back to the welcome screen. Can you tell me
what I did wrong

Dude thanks the vid helped, as it took me a while because it kept stopping at 56% or something like that, but without this vid i wouldnt have my laptop back lol
Tried a few more times and did get this to work. Thanks for the video. I would have never gotten this done from the instruction manual.
I got the recovery disk created without a problem, but when I tried to boot Acer Aspire One (Linux)from the flashdrive, it just comes up as usual. I don’t get the page you indicated asking for language etc. My internet connection is messed up from when I tried to update Firefox and I just want to start over with the original settings. Suggestions?
Thank you so much for the very helpful video, would I be able to use my desktop computer and disconect the hardrives in order to create the usb recovery drive, while not messing up my computer.
Thanks for your help

How do I restore when I don’t have a DVD or drive? I have nothing. My A1 is not even getting on the net.
Thanks
PLEASE HELP ME!!! I have an Aspire One d 250 that I bought this holyday season with windows 7 preinstalled on it and when I want to use the webcam, it says that it doesn’t detect any video capture device on the system. What should I do?
Did this and it fritzed the partition table of my second HD in the windows PC I used. Am four days into recovering the data from it, so am not amused.
BEWARE!!!!!!
I did this on my PC and it fritzed the partition table of my second hard drive, EVEN though I immediately selected the Install from USB option. Have spent the past four days slowly recovering all the data from it – it was an 90% full 1.5 TB hd, so I am mightily pissed off.
So – we have an unuseable Acer Aspire and an angry old man as a result of doing this.
