Post Acer Disk Formatter CD ISO Image is it still available? - Page 2

Have you heard of iso master?

There are 2 entries in Pqservice that once I do a system restore or burn recovery disks may activate when used, even though I know what to do to head it off I'm wondering if I can remove before making backups.

I just went to erecovery and it has option to make factory default disk, I would assume that it would be dvd as it says a maximum of 4Gigs. My player is PHILIP CDRW/DVD 5265
I don't think it's a burner, why would they give option if it's not possible without external burner.I wonder if it's possible to burn image to my other usb hdd and then burn from other computer.
Do you think it's possible and do I need to format drive.
The drive doesn't have anything on it, but, itis formatted fat32.

Update the options are 4 blank cd's or 1 Dvd.

I tried to use the 4 cd's about 3x's and each time it stopped at C:\DOTNETFX\DEP.MGR,
I googled and couldn'ty find anything.

Well this is what I googled as to possible reason of non-completion.

I tried Factory Default Disk not Factory made Dvd on raw 160Gig hdd.
Then I tried partitioned.
Neither worked.

Now I'm going to try my other 2 options which I think only 1 will work.
1st. Make 3 partitions and try to install without PQService in place, this 1 is iffy (don't expect it to work).
2nd. Use clonezilla to put Original image on hdd and erase data on the other 2 partitions,leaving PQService and use factory default disk.

Another update:
I took the original image that I started with,
I didn't delete additional entries, and deleted the Windows partition that M$ helped me install and replaced with empty fat32, btw this was actually the D:\ drive before the M$ help.
When they helped it became labeled as C:\. Which was confusing, because gparted saw it as hda3 extended with hda5 inside.
So after deleting and reformatting , then I deleted D:\ which was labeled as hda2 & made it an extended logical partition and fat32.
I tried system restore with cd's but they didn't work they stop at C:\DOTNETFX\DEP.MGR again.
I had to set PQService to boot because RTMBR.BIN wasn't installed. I let it do it's restore & tried system restore buttons they didn't work. So I logged in to safe mode and copied MBRWRWIN.EXE & RTMBR.BIN, rebooted and went logged in to my account and installed, then reran system restore.
Before updating I went to Avira and downloaded directly from there site and ran it & it found nothing.
After doing that I went directly to Malwarebytes site, downloaded, ran it and it came back with nothing.
Tomorrow I'm going to burn another set of restore disks, even though it's unnecessary, being that I have a full image. Actually I'm going to make another image of only PQService and put on 4Gig drive.
Then I'll do updates and if there are problems they should detect immediately.
Either my restore disks were corrupted or they have uuid of the drive they came from.
I'll update tomorrow.

Today I burned factory default disks and used them, it was a success.
So now if I have problems I have options as to how to restore system.
I'm still going to clone PQservice to 4Gig drive, I'll do that tomorrow.

Btw post acer disk formatter not necessary for aspire 3620.
