Default partition size for Acer TravelMate 8215WLMi (URGENT)

Hello All,

I have the Acer TravelMate 8215WLMi, running on Windows XP Pro SP2, with RAM, 2GB DDR, and CPU 2.0Ghz, and Harddisk size is 160GB.

Previously, I tried to upgrade to Vista, but found that no really compatible with several softwares at this moments, and I decided to restore my system back to Windows XP Pro SP2, using the PQSERVICE, hidden partition.

However, I realize that I should have accidentally deleted the PQSERVICE hidden partition, and now my C: Drive is under NTFS one full partition 160GB. I now only left with the Recovery DVD which I initially prompted to burn.

I have the Spotmau 2008 DVD which allow me to create the hidden partition, and then restore back the Default Partition Size to the factory default. However, I do not know what is the size of each partitions.

Anybody have the TravelMate8215WLMi running on Windows XP Pro SP2, can help to check the actual size of the first partition "PQSERVICE" hidden partition, follow by the actual size of C: Drive parition in FAT32, and lastly the actual size of D: Drive in FAT32.

In short, I need the informations of the TM8215WLMI actual factory default partitions size:
1) "PQSERVICE" hidden partition, the actual size,
2) C: Drive Label "ACER" FAT32, the actual partition size,
3) D: Drive Label "ACERDATA" FAT32, the actual partition size.
4) How can I restore the data back to the "PQSERVICE" hidden partition after recreated? Can I copy the full content from the initially burned Recovery DVD to the "PQSERVICE" hidden partition?

Please kindly assist and advise, for those kind soul who have the TM8215WLMi, or know the informations and resolutions. Its quite urgent!

Many Thanks.

Warmest Regards,

Hello All,

ue to time contrainst, I went down to Acer Service Center to reload the factory default o/s and partitions, and got charged for $50+. And this time, before doing anything after reloaded, I copied down all the important informations of my system, and backup the "PQSERVICE" hidden partition twice, to be safe.

I was told by the Acer technician to try use "Macrium Reflect" to backup the "PQSERVICE" hidden partition.

There's 2 versions of "Macrium Reflect", Free and Full (paid) Edition. I tried the Free Edition, and excellence!

I would like to share with you guys with this great backup freeware "Macrium Reflect". You may download it at:
