Don't run it from WIndows, use the shortcut i mentioned. That one is done from bootable hidden partition. Though i had a case where a Virut virus managed to infect this hidden partition somehow and i failed to recover it becase the file infector was not curable. At that time i lost 50 EUR because ACER did not cover that with warranty even though their recovery system failed.
They were making excuses that i should make a recovery disc. Well sure, then prvide me a free USB burner...
