Post Acer Disk Formatter CD ISO Image is it still available?

I was reading a little on formatting for acer, because when I setup my partitions I was unsure about doing it.

The thing that drove me nuts was:
Do I set it up C:\ with D:\ as extended?
I wasn't sure but that's the way I did it and D didn't get label as AcerData.

SO is the Post Acer Disk Formatter CD ISO Image still available?
The 1 site that I checked had it crossed out.

Thank you I tried to go to same site and it was like the content was blocked. Now checking from the same link from here, content isn't blocked.

What part doesn't work? It doesn't format?

I was speaking about the site itself - nice to hear that you got the file.

I haven't gotten the file yet. I'm on wifes computer. Too risky downloading on family computer. Don't want them opening. Any way the site is active. It downloads.

I don't download files direct onto my systems either - usually saving them on external drives then coming back later

Anyway I downloaded it. It's only 210MB. It only says it's for Acer Veriton M460.

Give it a run and see. If not just formatting it normally with other tools and labeling the D: AcerData yourself.

There's another site for acer aspire 3620 called TrungTamPhanMem that lists the same version. If someone is looking for it, and go by volume number.

Post Acer Disk Formatter CD ISO Image (volume: 220188,672 kb)

it shows they're all the same.

I retract that statement only the aspires appear to be the same.

That's my suspicion - the tool is very much the same for most Acer models.

I'll try it tomorrow at least burn iso to see exactly what's on it.
I'll post back later on.

BTW. My machine is running like a champ now.

I just tried disk, but, I didn't commit, I believe that it is the disk that I was searching for.
I have a 4Gig Hd that I was just going to install PQService to, and it asked for system default disk.
I'm hoping that is the STCDBOOT.iso also patition label. Anywy I have to go back to my original image and get and get all the partition information, then I'm going to try and install the PQservice to 4Gig hdd.

This would be a good trick. Let us how it turns out and your processing steps.

I tried the formatter and I am missing something.
I have looked over the STCDBOOT.iso, and it appears to have everything.

I've created a partition on 4gig drive and I was going to copy not burn, Stcdboot.iso to it, but changed plans, now I'm going to imsage my 160 gig drive and copy it to that and see if after it will do D2D recoveryfrom there. I'll post back later.

It didn't work I would have to make the recovery cd's that are meant to be made from e recovery.
As far as having PQService on 4Gig it can happen because I can clone it, and keep it there for safe keeping.

Any way since I have an operational system I'm going to take it off 40Gig hdd and clone it to 160Gig, I'm also going to get rid of some of the images I made while trying to restore system since I don't need them.

Cloning the original drive is the best way to keep the PQService partition - creating it new is a challenge

I'm still going to experiment but not waste a lot of time. The good thing is I can make the restore discs still. I think that I'm going to take all my images and put them on blu-ray disk, then empty my storage drives.

Better on normal DVDs, easier to access at a later time

The images are taking up 11gig in space each, A DVD only holds I think 4.7Gig.
