    hello,

    my wife has an Acer 3680, and we turned it on this morning, and it tells us after the acer logo,

    boot failed! press any key to enter command line.

    I pushed escape gave me the choice for windows vista, windowsnt/2000/xp, enter command.

    each one tells me boot failed enter command line.

    We havent created any recovery disks, is there any way we can some how use the recovery partion of the disk?

    please help!

    at the acer logo screen try Alt-F10 this should do a factory restore.
