Hello,
I have purchased an Acer and was wondering if I can uninstall all the bloatware using PC Decrapifier and Add/Remove Programs, create an imae with Norton Ghost and use this as my backup dvd image rather than Acer's recovery partition. My goal is to get a perfect clean image without junk. Any input from Acer users would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

Hello
Do you have a proper Vista DVD that came with your PC or is the recovery partition the only thing you have? If you have a Vista DVD with the full OS on it without the Acer crap, then Shuck is right. (Uninstalling always leaves orphan files and other problems behind. Fresh install is much better.) His point about deleting the recovery partition also makes sense if you have the Vista DVD handy and will never need the Acer recovery. If you DON'T have a Vista DVD, then I understand why you want to do what you want to do, with uninstalling the crap and imaging the drive, because it's the closest you can get to a clean install. However, if you don't have a Vista DVD, keep the Acer partition intact so down the road if you change your mind or need your Acer factory install back, it's there for you.

why i cannot install window vista ultimate on Aspire M1610 |
| butl5062, on Saturday August 2, 2008 10:16:51 PM this might be a late response but if you havnt uninstalled the e-recovery program / D: drive then you should be able to set your computer back to factory settings. when you first power your acer machine on, you see the acer boot screen where it gives you the option to go into the BIOS, before this passes hit atl + f10 (you might have to hit the combination more than once). this will boot the recovery partition stored on your D: drive rather than the OS installed on your C: drive. you should see a screen come up saying "now starting recovery" or something like that. it will ask if you really want to set your computer back to factory settings, click yes once or twice and voila, your machine will be well on its way to a fresh start. unfortunately this will reinstall all the annoying acer programs and whatnot but it will at least take care of any viruses you may have (without needing a disk) that is making you computer unusable. |
