“the bios is locked and I can’t find a way to unlock it. “
“The bios password was set by Acer.”
As far as I have seen, a brand name computer NEVER initially comes with a password that’s set in the bios that is already set.
It’s likely that you (or someone who has used the computer) have set a password to access the bios yourself (themself) but you (they) have forgotten what it is because you (they) have rarely needed to access the bios. You are supposed to use a password that is familiar to you that you’re not likely to forget. If it was you who set the password, then you should make an effort to try to figure out what it is. The case of letters – upper or lower case – is important. You can usually make a limited number of attempts, say, three, then you have to restart the computer to try again if none of those were successful.
“….they say:
1. Turn on your Notebook. 2. Press F2 in order to access the BIOS 3. While in BIOS press F9 in order to select the preset settings.
Everything works okay untill step 2, but then when I press F9( or anything else for that matter) nothing happens. “
You haven’t said whether you get any message when you press F9. That may not work if you don’t know the password to access the bios.
The program that is accessed by pressing F9 requires that there is data on the hard drive that is where it is supposed to be and that the data is not corrupted or damaged. If that data is missing or not 100% undamaged, the program cannot work.
“And I don’t own any restore disks,”
Acer systems never come with Restore or Recovery disks. You get what you pay for – a cheaper system, cheaper support. However, you may be able to order a set from the Acer web site. See Recovery Disks below. ……..
If you don’t have a floppy drive, you can get a CD image diagnostic utility from most hard drive manufacturer’s web sites, but obviously you would need to make a burned CD, preferably a CD-R for best compatibility, on another computer if you need to.
The bootable Dos versions of SeaTools can be used even if Windows is not working properly.
If the hard drive itself tests okay, any data problems found can be fixed, one way or another. …….
If the hard drive itself tests okay……
grasshopper’s referenced fix in response 7 won’t work if other data needed to make it work is not working correctly or is corrupted or missing.
You can probably fix your problem either of two ways without losing your personal data that you have added to the C partition, or – you could reload Windows or the original software installation from scratch, but that’s a lot more work, and if you don’t want to lose personal data that you can’t easily re-install, you would need to boot the computer from something such as a Linux CD and copy the data you do not want to lose to elsewhere BEFORE you install Windows or the original software installation from scratch.
There are two types of brand name system Restore or Recovery disk sets.
The most common type I’ve seen for computers that have XP Home or Pro installed on them originally is – the first disk is an XP Re-installation CD. You use it the same way as a retail Microsoft XP CD. Certain OEM.* files on the CD have been modified so that you can’t install XP from scratch or run a Repair installation of Windows on any other computer unless is the same model or the model is one of a small group of the same series. It does not prompt you to insert another disk when it has finished installing Windows. You have the option of trying to Repair your existing Windows installation without losing your personal data if you follow a standard Microsoft Repair installation procedure. – the other disk(s) have the drivers you need for your system and sometimes programs that do not come with Windows that the brand name provided in the original software installation.
The other type is – the Restore or Recovery disk set is a custom made multi disk archive. In that case, all of the original software is installed on the entire hard drive, you are prompted to insert the second disk after the first one has finished loading, etc. With that type of set, you cannot repair an existing Windows installation, and you must copy personal data you do not want to lose to elsewhere BEFORE you run the procedure. …………………………………………………………….
Recovery Disks.
If you can get Recovery disks for your model, according to my experiences, that set is much cheaper to buy including shipping than even just a regular Microsoft OEM XP Home CD, the cheapest type of XP CD you can buy.
Click on the blue link for: Acer Recovery Media Order Form in this:
“If the ability to reinstall from the previous method is not available or fails, recovery of the Operating System will need to be from Recovery Media. If you do not have a set of Acer Recovery Media, you may purchase the set online from the Acer Recovery Media Order Form.” …..
The Alt-F10 procedure make not work with your model. ….
If the Restore or Recovery disk set is the type where the first disk is an XP Re-installation CD,
-you can run a standard Microsoft Repair installation procedure to try repairing your existing Windows installation without losing your personal data that’s on C
-if you install Windows from scratch with that CD…

Your cheapest and easiest solution is to custom rig up a case fan (e.g. as little as $10 or less) inside the case so that it blows on the graphics card. ………
“ATX cards face to the right side.”
Same goes for BTX cards, as seen from the top of the card and the bracket end.
When an ATX or MATX mboard is installed, the card slots are at the bottom of a tower case – yours are at the top, whether it’s a BTX form factor mboard or not.
The form factor dimensions of the mboards are on the right.
If yours is one of the BTX sizes, if you want a larger case, you need a BTX compatible case.
“The BTX form factor motherboards are incompatible with most of the ATX form factor cases and vice-versa. Some cases such as the Cooler Master Series (Stackers) support a varying range of motherboard types such as ATX, BTX, Mini-ATX and so forth. However, all connectors are compatible, including power supplies, PCI cards, processors, RAM, hard drives, etc.”
Graphics Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500 (Intel® GMA X4500) PCI Express® 2.0 ×16 low-profile graphics card support
Power Supply 220 watt …….
The original graphics card has a low-profile (shorter height) bracket.
If you get a new case, you may need a graphics card that has a regular bracket, unless you get a small form factor case.
Your present power supply is probably a smaller than standard physical size. It may not fit in the new case.
Standard (PS/2) power supply size – 86mm high, 150mm wide, 140mm deep, or 3 3/8″ h x 5 7/8″ w x 5 1/2″ d , or very close to that, though the depth can be more or less for some PSs.
Even if it does fit, if you were to get a small form factor case, if you upgrade the graphics card, you will probably need a power supply with more capacity.
Your power supply must have at least the minimum capacity required to support a system with the graphics card you are using installed, or the max graphics card you might install in the future. (Onboard video – video built into the mboard – IS NOT A CARD ! ) If that info is not in the ad for the video card, you can go to the video card maker’s web site and look up the specs for the model – often under system requirements – the minimum PS wattage, and, more important, the minimum amperage the PS must supply at 12v is stated. If you don’t find that, any card with the same video chipset including any letters after the model number has very similar minimum PS requirements. Some power supplies have two or more +12v ratings – in that case, add those ratings to determine the total +12v current capacity.
If you’re a gamer… In most if not all cases, the max capacity rating of the PS is an intermittent rating. It’s recommended that you do not load your PS to any more that 80% of that rating if you are going to be using something that puts a constant load on it, such as playing a recent game for hours on end. In that case, you multiply the min capacity stated for the system with the particular video chipset on the card by 1.25 to find the min. capacity of the PS you should get.
Most likely it's a CR2032 but it would be best to open the case & check. It's a common battery used for a lot of different devices. You can get them just about anywhere batteries are sold, they're just a couple of bucks.

The default cluster size of 4k is good for most applications. With that cluster size partition size is not an issue. The reason to partition is to organize things on the hard drive.
Look at the link below for ideas. You should know that you can only create 4 primary or 3 primary and 1 extended partition. The extended partition can have as many logical drives as available drive letters.
With a 500GB I would recommend 3 or 4 partitions. First one for OS and a few key programs. Next partition for the rest of your programs. The third and fourth can be for your personal files and music, movies, etc.
You should backup regularly but it is time consuming to backup an entire hard drive because SOME of the data has changed. Once you install programs you probably won’t make many changes to that partition so you don’t need to back it up very often. Conversely, your personal files may need to be backed up weekly or more. You get the idea?
