Hi
Here’s the deal I have a 7 year old Acer travelmate C110
After formatting and trying to install with my windows XP disk (Not an Acer disk) the install would not accept the windows key, it wants the Acer operating version of XP tablet.
I’m now stuck trying to restore the factory settings from the D: Acerdata drive.
I have tried Alt F10 on startup but all I get is an alarm and the boot freezes.
On the splash screen at startup the only options I get are F2 for setup and f12, for boot options.
F12 does not give me an option to boot off of the D drive
Also when I installed Xp I changed the file system from Fat32 to NTSF could this be causing me trouble?
Thanks for your help
Ray
