Acer eRecovery Management
Acer eRecovery Management is a powerful utility with the need for recovery disks provided by the
manufacturer. The Acer eRecovery Management utility occupies space in a hidden partition on the
system’s HDD. Be default, user-created backups are stored on D:\ drive. Acer eRecovery
Management provides:
• Password protection
• Recovery of applications and drives
• Image or data backup:
• Backup to HDD (set recovery point)
• Backup to CD or DVD
• Image/data recovery tools:
• Recovery from a hidden partition (factory defaults)
• Recovery from the HDD (most recent user-defined recovery point)
• Recovery from CD or DVD
NOTE: If the computer did not come with a Recovery CD or System CD, please use Acer eRecovery
Management’s “System backup to optical disk” feature to burn a backup image to CD or DVD. To
ensure the best results when recovering the system using a CD or Acer eRecovery Management,
detach all peripherals (except external Acer ODD, if equipped), including the Acer ezDock.
