First u can insert Win CD when log on to windows.
Then choose to 'install' and follow its guide.

OR
In BIOS , set boot from cd.CD drive set as first drive.
After format, u will lost hardware driver. Acer resource cd got all needed driver.
Hope this can help u.

Mostly the recovery disk inside was included os in that cd/dvd. Try boot up from ur recovery disk check it. hmm.gif

If yes, then just follow the step by step ... next, next, ok, ok .... etc.

Good luck thumbup.gif

TS...what acer laptop model u r using?if u know how to format a desktop...it exactly the same.change bios boot drive...then folow on screen.after that install the driver(from the resource cd tat tag along with every purchase)...and if ur notebook is come with preinstall OS...then.....at the 1st place u need to make a recovery disc from it(using empower technology,choose recovery disc creator program)...then the other step is same...bot from cd n folow the instructions.it wil recover ur lappy back to its factory default seting.
