a couple of question 1.How long have you own the laptop 2.did you make a backup of the recovery partition to a bootable usb flash drive
1) Try with Rufus (MBR or UEFI) depending of your config 2) Use USB2 port to boot 3) Use F.. key to select the boot option 4) Give feedback
I did. it's booting now . but not installing window. it stopped at file cop 0 %. and sound some strange form laptop. Maybe harddisk have some issue. .
Try to test with another HDD then if it's not progressing at installation step. Have you any error messages?
Have you try a factory restore first? When you turn on the laptop and see the Acer logo screen, hold the ALT key and press the F10 key (you need to do this before the Acer logo disappears). Let me know. Lievre
NO error. BUt when install page come up just keep showing that page and some strange come from inside laptop. . Yes . I can see Acer logo and can go to bios F2. No problem. The thing is i have already format all disk . Do you think i can restore?
Yes you can restore even if you have format. The partition with the recovery is hidden. So it should still be there. Lievre
With some luck you can recover the partitions using partitionmanager (Acronis or similar). You need to pull the HDD and put it in another machine during the process thoe and be carefull NOT to write to it! /Rab
