    ALT+F10 pressed simultaneously at boot (when you see Acer logo) should start recovery provided that "D2D recovery" option in BIOS is enabled.
    After you've recovered check if you can burn your own recovery CDs/DVDs with Acer eRecovery software (you can also check it now but it may have been uninstalled and recovery is going to put it back in place)
