Format my Acer laptop
15 Answers
I have had my laptop for around 4 years now and it obviously has got a lot of stuff on it, mostly useless. and is running generally slow.
Can anyone tell me, or direct me to a good guide on formatting it back to fresh out the box?
I have the discs that it came with with licence on the bottom.
Can i back up important photos, music, video on a dvd+r first?
Hope someone can help :)

Mine is Start - all programs - AcerSystem - User's Guide.
That will tell you exactly how to do it. If you haven't got it, let us know.
You should back up your photos, documents, music and so on. You'll need a few dvd disks. Or have you got a flash drive?

Well, I have just been through all my photos and stuff and deleted unneccesary stuff, amazing what junk you find when your having a good look around!
Think i will have enough cd's to do it now, as i won't probably do it again for another 4 years!
It is a Acer Aspire 3003.
Any easy tips on what to do after i have backed up everything?
also is there a way to save my favourites? and emais?
Thanks again.

I have an Acer as well. I�m probably going to follow your thread. I can�t get my DVD player to work. Each time I load a dvd it�s too slow so everything is in a screen shots. I need to spend another hour being on hold with Acer.
If you have any basic questions, they�re not that bad I suppose. You may call them on: 01752 243 890 or: 0870 853 1000
I wish you the best of luck!

Oh by the way when you do do the alt F10 thing it says about installing drivers, will i need to do that?
