WINDOWS 8 DELETED ITSELF FROM ACER LAPTOP

[BluebirdCCFC]

Windows 8 seems to have gone from my ACER laptop. When I turn the laptop on it just says ACER and then says trying to find files but fails and turns back off.

I have no discs to re-install so what is my best option?

is it under warranty ?? if not try torrent sites they have win8 and activators sorry against the rules to post links to torrent sites

No the warranty has run out. Would it be possible to send a link in a private message, I am hopeless at finding torrents.

pm sent but might not work depending on what bb provider you have

Thank you, so once its downloaded just load it onto a disc and boot the laptop from the disc is it?

Great win today mate

[mtv1]

yep you will also need an activator

i recommend you put win 7 on it some of the win8 ones don't work tbh good luck mate

if you had windows 8 currently pre-installed

i would not recommend you delete it or install any other operating systems
because unless you have your serials backed up you will lose them

did you try recovery options ?

acer hp sometimes store backup on a separate partition allowing you to access at boot
by pressing certain keys with acer its usually ALT+F10 at start up

but if its out of warranty it would not be legit to begin with as most lappies have a 2 year warranty and win 8 not out that long

worth a try do

Thanks for the help, will let you know how it goes.

FAO Maca - It was a great win and a great day, I didn't expect nothing from it but I was completely shocked.

The file won't fit on one disc, does this matter?

you need a iso file type copy of windows 7, then burn the iso using img burn, choose burn img to disc and select the iso,when installing you may have to set the computer to boot from disc so you go straight into the setup mode then delete partion ,create new partion and install

Been trying to get it working for hours, thanks for all the help but I failed, taking it to a repair shop on Tuesday.
