I reformatted my acer aspire 5315 because when I bougt it the hard drive was partitioned which drove me spare! I was able to re install the windows and microsoft office but having no recovery disc all acer stuff disappeared.

Check out Acer's support site. They should have something where you enter your laptop's model and you should be good to go.

Can you access TH on your smart phone?

Most laptops have a 'recovery partition' on the hard disk instead of system CD/DVD's.
If you haven't deleted the recovery partition you can do try this:
- during POST press F2 to enter the BIOS. Look for an option 'D2D recovery' and enable it.
- during the next POST press ALT F10. The laptop should boot from the recovery partition so you can do a fresh install.

The recovery partition is hidden. You can remove it only by repartitioning the harddisk.

I will be back home in about 3/4 hours and will attempt to find it wherever it is hidden in between doing Christmas cards. Thanks for your help!
