Hey guys,

I own an acer aspire 5570 laptop with vista home premium on it. It was a display model so i didnt get any cds.

I have recently tried to install WindowsXp on a partition, which I did because my internet router wasnt support by Vista, anyways i installed xp but then find a few devices xp couldnt run(i tried to find drivers on the Vista parition but couldnt) so I then formatted that partition to remove XP.. but now the computer wont boot up into vista. Won't boot up into anything.

I know i could do a system repair using a vista disk, but i dont have one :(. I have a friend who has a copy but dont know when ill get a hold of him

I've tried to find a vista boot disk, but cant, tried to find a repair disk from Acer for my model, but no luck.

can anyone help me?

FYI, ACER's have a DVD Creator Software pre-installed to burn the Recovery Disks.

Uninstalling XP has likely destroyed the BOOT.INI and therefore no boot menu.....
