Hi,

I bought an Acer Aspire 5732Z about a couple of years ago and it 
developed a problem with the DVD player. Once the company I bought it 
from knew I had a problem within the warranty period I found I could not 
log into my account to get the repair booked in -- this may have been a 
coincidence but I got so frustrated that I bought a new notebook.

My daughter needs a laptop to enable her to work from home and I would 
like to let her have the Acer. I think I would need to format the hard 
drive but I don't think the machine came with any discs, (or I can't 
find them at the moment). Is there any way to format the hard drive and 
then re-install the o/s, (windows 7 home premium). I don't think I could 
access the internet without an o/s, and then there will be the problem 
of loading the drivers!

Perhaps I could clear all my old stuff but then I would have the 
intermittent dvd which I think is a software problem.

I will have another look for any discs but I don't recall any. I wonder 
if anyone has got any ideas how I can restore this machine?

Regards,

John.
