Recovering your system

If your operating system files are lost or damaged, the recovery
process will restore your system's original factory default
settings. Your Acer Veriton series computer includes a One
Button Recovery button, a feature that makes restoring your
system quick and easy.
One Button Recovery works from a hidden 2 GB partition on
your hard drive that contains all the information required to
restore your system.
There are two ways to initiate recovery. If your computer is not
equipped with the (optional) One Button Recover button, you
can press Alt + F10 after the BIOS finishes running the Power On
Self Test (POST).
Warning: Initiating the recovery operation while the
operating system is running will result in abnormal
shutdown and may make your current OS unstable or
unusable.
After the POST runs, you have only 1.5 seconds to press Alt +
F10. Follow all onscreen instructions.
You can also follow the steps below:
