recovery 32 type mismatch

tysdad · 11-03-2009, 10:28 AM

Hi Guys,
My son has an acer aspire laptop and it was running slow so I put in the recovery discs which I have done a couple of times with no problems and at first it wouldnt acknowledge the discs were there but when it did I kept getting the recovery 32 message.I was wondering if anyone could help with this,i should also tell you that i am not the brightest guy when it comes to this stuff so if you could dumb it down for me that would be great.
thanks

Hi,

Kindly post the exact error message you see and in what part of the installation does it appear... thanks.

hey,thanks for responding...the message pops up right away once the computer recognizes the recovery discs..it has the header "recovery 32" and in the box it says "type mismatch".on the bottom it says ok and when i click that it goes away and on the screen it says please wait a moment but nothing never happens after that.

any suggestions?
thanks.

wow that sounds tricky,is there anything i should look out for?

I think any CD/DVD lens cleaner on the market could do the trick.

STILL NOTHING getting the same error message

**TriggerFinger** · 11-14-2009, 06:23 AM

This may sound far fetched but I suggest you try installing another operating system (or at least boot with one from the CD/DVD drive)... ex. Ubuntu or Knoppix.
