"Please insert the correct image disk" from trying to restore acer aspire laptop

[kevinx]

how do i fix this problem? When i mean restore i mean reinstall the whole system and everything.

Now after it recognized the disk, it said "failure for disk 0.. partition 3". Is this because i deleted some of my registries from the ROOT and the other important ones (i know i was stupid for getting it deleted, it was an accident)

Does it come with more than 1 disk by any chance? Also do you boot it from disk instead of the OS?

yes it came with more than 1 disk, but im sure i putted it in the right one. I checked the numbers and it is the appropiate disk. And what u mean by instaling from OS? though im sure thats not hte problem, because this error didn't appear when i first inserted the disk, it happened after a couple of steps.

OS means operating system, what I meant is did you run the disk in the operating system... What were the steps?

Download a hard drive diag tool first like Seagate Seatools. It sounds like the drive is bad.

you can use hard drive defragment and it will mark any bad spots and then the hard drive might work better.

have you tried the alt+f10 on splash screen to boot in to the onboard recovery?? this could normally by pass the disc image issue, if this does not work then i would perform a dst on the harddrive using a tool like seatools.

what do you mean on splash screen? And could the problem be related to some missing registries instead of a hard drive problem? Because I did deleted some important ones
