    My question is what are the steps to recover my system the way it was after formatting, I saved in partition d all the information using e-managment tools, but now what do I do, how do I format and then what?

    if you have not deleted the hidden partion
    restart the computer, when the ACER splash comes up hit ALT + F10 and it will enable Disk to Disk recovery... that will whip C: out and return it to factory state

    Note: before you do anything make sure what ever is on your C: and D: are on dvds as well. sometimes things go wrong just be safe. and make more than one back up.
