G'day,

I have an operating system stored on a hidden drive (not on a CD, it comes with the computer) on my notebook and wish to install it. During the boot process, you are supposed to press a key on your keyboard to start the installation. The problem is, I can't remember it!

Any ideas?

Cheers!

Are you talking about reinstalling your OS from the recovery partition. If yes, this is the procedure for Acer:

1. Backup all your data

2. Restart your PC and press ALT+F10 when you get the first splash screen - or check on that screen whether they want you to press something else. That gets you to the installation wizard that will guide you.

ALT+F10 doesn't work. Doesn't suggest anything else.

Study the splash screen. Maybe there is a different procedure on your system.
