Acer aspire - trying to get Vista back

Mariet98 · 12-10-2008, 05:04 PM

Hi,

A month or two back, Vista started really screwing up on my computer. I tried to use my recovery disks, but they weren't working so I decided to switch back to XP. I gave it to a friend to fix it for me, but ended up putting a hacked version. I now want to put Vista back on my computer, and am borrowing the recovery disks from my cousin.

My problem is that the recovery disks won't run when I load my computer, and ALT-F10 does not work. How can I get Vista back?

Thank you so much in advance for all your help!
