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—anunfortunate but growing trend followed by many OEM PC and Notebook manufacturers these days to rein in costs.

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:
