I have a fix for this problem. The fix which i am providing is the simple one, follow the instructions properly.You will need to get a free software from Microsoft. This software you need to download from the Microsoft site. You can make use of the software in formatting the disk. This will make a new hidden partition in your hard disk from your restore DVD.

I making use of the acer laptop for all my works. I was also having the same issue. Then i referred your posts. After viewing at the post i purchased a restore CD and System CD from the Acer company. But i do not have any idea to use the CD. I contacted to the acer support center, but did not get any help from them. So please provide some help.

I have a fix for this problem. Refer this post carefully. The green button which is present on the acer laptop does not power up to Acer Arcade.The button only brings the S/W to the desktop. Once you have received the recovery CD from the acer, then you will require to have the standard partitions and you will need to manually repartition your hard drive.
