Why does Acers have to be so annoying? I have a T650 desktop and it is nothing but trouble. Blue Screen Of Death machines, should have been called terminators.

I've never installed windows from a CD, i got a hidden partition and it does it that way. Maybe something wrong with the cd? or the drive isn't formated right?

I think its just a general discussion on Acer and he is not searching for a solution to his problem but rather a discussion on why there should be a problem in the first place.
I usually hear 2 different things when it comes to Acer machines and that is that they are really great or they are crap. I think that the laptops work really well however i think that the desktops have a few more problems. In my experience i have had nothing but problems when it comes to Acer desktop hardware however all the laptops that i have worked with have been great.
The main problem i have had with the Acer desktops is with the network cards. We have about 10 Acer machines all about a years old in our network and all of the network cards in them have stopped working.
I would say that your particular problem lies with either the recovery partition or another partition that you might have missed over and i would suggest erasing your entire hard drive before trying to install the new version of windows. Otherwise use the disks that came with the machine.

Life is too short to be messing/fugging round with a goofy ACER machine. There are plenty of cheap used computers out there from good companies that know what they are doing.
