Okay,

I have an Acer Extensa who's hard drive I fried a long time ago. Today I bought a new hard drive and loaded the Recovery Disks I have, but I'm getting the error "No Partition available"

I've read a bunch of threads about the ISO file, but couldnt find that file here http://www.acer.com/worldwide/support/download.htm on the Acer site and I do not have a floppy drive.

Does anyone know a good way to format this drive? I've never formatted a drive before, so I really have no clue what to do.

It's a Sata 320 GB drive from Seagate.

Thanks a bunch!

[edit]

Woops, forgot to say the OS on the Recovery Disk is Windows Vista Home Basic

Sorry
