For more information, please refer to "Acer eRecovery Management" on page 55 in the AcerSystem User's Guide.

To ensure the best results when recovering your system using a CD or Acer eRecovery Management, detach all peripherals (except the external Acer ODD, if your computer has one), including your Acer ezDock.
