Factory restore

[silky]

I want to do a factory restore on my Acer Aspire T120 XP but it says the
discs i have to do it are the wrong ones for my computer. Ive had it about 3
years and want to to a good clean out. Would anyone be able to tell me how to
do one without the discs. Thanks

Remove SP2 then it'll probably allow the install from CD.

You probably need to contact Acer's Tech Support about this.

What is the exact wording of the error message that you get? Are you
trying to do the factory restore after starting up the computer? If
so then try starting up the computer with the Acer disk 1 already in
the drive so it will boot from the CD.

Good luck
