At this point I'm not sure what else to do. I check again if my optical drive can read at all. Inserted Windows 7 DVD created with the microsoft tool. I downloaded a copy of windows 7 (3.1GB) and burned the iso file on a blank DVD with hopes of installing it and then activating it with my key. I researched a bit and found out that erecovery only works on acers with the "hidden partition" on the disk that came from factory. waited till I can use windows again (hours after launch repair) and tried to read many DVDs and they all seem fine. Only the prompt blinking and the disk even stops spinning. It just doesn't doesn't do anything when I put the first one and restart. First off, I went to the bios and set it to boot up first with the optical drive, so I can use the 3 recovery DVDs that I created on day one when I purchased the laptop. Problems start with trying to install an OS on the acer. It was fairly simple to remove the original disk and replace it physically. Everytime I restart, windows demands a launch repair that takes HOURS, otherwise it won't boot and will restart. I have an acer 5740g.(English, bought in the Netherlands, out of warranty, original HD: 640GB western digital included with windows 7 home premium).
