Acer travelmate 5720 factory partition gone

Thread Starter 
I did a bad thing and reformatted my acer travelmate 5720, deleting the factory partition in the process. luckily, i had saved the data from a previous issue with the computer (as posted here http://www.notebookforums.com/thread228971.html), so i have the data saved on an external HD in a folder called 'acerdata'.

is there any way that i can restore the partition with this data on it so that i can restore the computer to factory settings using the ALT+F10 method? having reformatted it using a windows CD, tons of the hardware drivers are missing etc so I regret that i didn't remember that acer had the built in restore...

you would have to call acer for a set of factory recovery discs from them directly which should only be about $15-$20 (US). I was charged $19.99 and $2.99 shipping a set I needed to order for my aspie 5570 awhile back. Good luck in your search (you can always install a oem windows and just download the drivers manually from the website which is almost the same as the recovery discs if you want to save money.)
