Well I figured since Acer hasn't got their act together I would pick up the slack for them. So here it is, a fully functioning Recovery Disc that can be used to restore any Aspire One system that shipped with XP. In reality this is simply an OEM copy of Windows XP Home SP3 with the official Acer Aspire One drivers injected into it using nlite.

Show me where to locate my serial number or SNID on my device. Download our serial number detection utility. (Windows operating systems only) Or select.

A rather simple process and one that anyone here could easily do, but I figured I would save everyone the time. During the installation Windows will ask for a cd key, that key can be found on the bottom of the Aspire One. Once the Windows installation finishes everything should be ready to go (all drivers install automatically during the Windows installation), the only thing you will need to do is connect to the internet and validate your key. If for whatever reason this process fails you may be required to phone Microsoft (takes about 5 minutes or so with the fully automated system), just follow the instructions on the screen.

I have also included a folder labeled 'Extra' on the disc. Inside you will find the alternate webcam driver (liteon) should the integrated SuYin drivers not work for you. As well I have included the latest Combined Community Codec Pack.

Once installed you shouldn't have to worry about ever finding another codec ever again (I know I haven't). Also included is the update file for Windows Media Player 11 and some rather nice 1024x600 wallpapers to get you started. Edit: Old, non-working links removed. Wow, great of you to do that. I would dearly love to have a hard copy of the Acer OEM XP home to keep with my Acer manuals etc in case my hdd crashes. I only have a few copies of XP Pro, and they are also OEM for other brand PCs, so this is perfect. So can you help me out as I don't know what to do to save a hard copy.

I download this & then can I burn it on a CD to keep for the day, if or when it ever happens. Would it then just be like a normal OEM recovery disc you pop in (yes I know I'd need an external CD drive ) and off you go? I have Nero 6, so I'd need to know a little bit of instructions on what to do as I only ever burnt music discs & sometimes a duplicate of my Dvds.

Please tell me a link where i can download acer aspire one d257 recovery cd as i dont have one with me and i have to recover my system.I tried to reformat and install the windows with a thumb drive drive but it doesnt get formatted.Tried many ways to formate the hdd but in vain.I tried Hirens thumb drive to format the drive but it was never formatted and so i am not able to instal an operating system on it.Hope the recovery cd work for me.But i dont know where to find it.Please help me will be greatly thankfull.Kashar dilshad.
