does anyone have ACER Aspire 5720 3A2G16Mi recovery disk ?

I should have read closer. If your recovery partition is gone, there is no
way to recover the original setup. The disk needs it as I said above. You
will likely have to buy a copy to the operating...

does anyone have ACER Aspire 5720 3A2G16Mi recovery disk ?

Acer supplies software on the machine to make your own recovery disk, and
the actual data is stored in a protected partition. If you can get Acer
eRecovery to work, it will make that disk for you,...

bluetooth 7220

If it is not built into the mother board, you are not going to get it. You
can get a Bluetooth adapter to plug into your USB ports, but unless you have
a solid need, there usually better ways to...

display port question

If it has two rows of small holes in it, it is a video output for a monitor
not for a TV.

Few machines support the composite signal required for a TV, though some
offer SVideo and Divx, if you...

extensa touchpad

Check the control panel under pointing devices. Probably mouse.

Check the icon in the system tray for optional settings.

If none of the above, try going to Device Manager, and removing the touchpad...

Recovery discs

You put your finger on it. The CD simply is a way to access the actual data
stored on the recovery partition. If it is not there, nothing will happen.

You can use disk cloning software like...

Acers Aspire 5720 fan noise or fan is always on

If you have an Nvidia graphic chipset, they have been having huge numbers of
failures. Recent updates to the bios on these machines have turned the fan

remove the DVD drive?

The green things actually remove. Once they are out, the drive just slides
out. That's all there is to it. If the disk binds, it's just a tight fit,
there are no other fasteners. Good...

Hibernate File (how to delete)

Since the hibernate file is used only in the case when the machine
hibernates, and only once to write and once to later read back during
awakening, there is little point to defragging it. If you go...

SD card & built in card reader problem

As far as I know, none of the built in readers can read a HC card, and
that's why most card mfgs supply a tiny converter to USB. They are very
cheap, and you can get one with a new card, and use it...

Windows is on a different disk.

Perhaps the boot order in the bios is messed up? Check what the bios says

XP Disk Manager will do partitions for you.

It is likely the machine already contains a utility to make a recovery cd.
Look around a bit. It is also likely to contain a 5 - 10 GB partition with...

Acer Aspire E360 Desktop Recovery Disks Won't

If that one file is really all that is wrong, Windows should be able to
repair it from a command line in Windows. No need for restore disks and all
that.

Acer 5715z fan problem

It seem logical that you should roll back the last update, and continue one
by one till the touch pad works again.

Then reinstall all but the offending update.

Or, you could look to see which...

Acronis 11 on XP stops proper hibernate or stand by

When you install Acronis, it has a lot of bells and whistles to offer. Many
of these require running services on your system. At least four of them. If
you don't use the bells and whistles, you can...

may need to update the firmware. You only get a limited number of these...
