The Acer Ferrari 4000 ships with four CDs; a three-disc recovery CD set consisting of
a bootable System CD that loads Symantec’s Ghost, and two Recovery CDs
containing the actual Ghost image of the factory OS, driver and utility install. In spite
the Acer OEM Windows XP Start Here booklet, there is no CD with the actual
Windows XP OS included—an unfortunate but growing trend followed by many OEM
PC and Notebook manufacturers these days to rein in costs.
Here's the guide. You
can print it out or
save it elsewhere on
your hard drive
where you can have
quicker access to it. Finally, there's Acer
eSettings. As you can see, you
can change a number
of the Acer Ferrari
4000's settings. A number of changes
to the notebook's
display settings can
be made with this
option. The Display Device
configuration screen.
The fourth CD contains Symantec’s Norton Antivirus 2005, which Acer does not pre-
install on the Ferrari 4000. This way, you have the option of installing your own
favorite antivirus program without having to worry about any potential conflicts due
to something that an uninstall of Norton might have typically left behind—a good
move on Acer’s part.
Other software included and pre-installed on the Acer Ferrari 4000 is Adobe Acrobat
Reader 6.0; an Acer-branded version of CyberLink’s PowerDVD 5.0, and an Acer-
branded version of NTI CD & DVD Maker Version 7 which also includes NTI Backup
NOW! Version 4. Acer also includes a pre-installed suite of utilities for getting the
most out of the Ferrari 4000:
● Acer eManager—a slick little front-end for the following apps:
Acer ePresentation—if you’ve ever fought with screen resolutions
when connecting a notebook to a projector for that all-important
PowerPoint slide presentation, ePresentation will make the process
and your life much simpler.
