John,

Dell Factory Image Restore The Dell Factory Image Restore tool replaces PC Restore. Access it from the F8 boot menu while booting up.

Once you have all the options on the screen, choose repair your computer and follow the prompts to restore.


CAUTION:
This utility formats the operating system hard drive partition prior to restoring the factory image. This means data on that partition is deleted and cannot be recovered.
If the customer creates a secnd partition with a third-party utility, Dell Factory Image Restore is not affected as long as the image partition is not removed.

Thank You,

Hi,
I see, Follow the details below to be able to do a Factory Restore on your Acer.

• Click on Start
• Select and Click Programs
• Look for Acer Recovery Management and click on it
• There will be a dialog Box on the Bottom click "Restore"
• Then click on Restore System to Factory Defaults
• Then Click YES if you are sure to restore the system and that you have already backed up any personal or important documents
• After clicking YES click on START to begin the process of restoring the system back to Factory Defaults

Note: If the Original Hard drive Settings/Partition have been deleted or changed it is possible the Restoration to Factory Defaults may not work.
I hope that this will help your restore your machine to Factory Defaults.
Have a nice day,
