You needs to find one specifically for your model of notebook as each system disk contains drivers for that specific notebook. If you're looking to perform a system recovery press alt+F10 at the bios splash screen (press it a few times to make sure) and the system recovery should start

I cannot. The whole partition got erased so there is no more alt+F10 recovery on the disk. that is why i am looking for a system disk!!

give acer a call and they should be able to issue you with a decent set. I've tried looking for disk sets online but was unable to find it.

Also you didn't explain that the partition had been erased and were unable to perform a disk-to-disk recovery.
