Hi, the USB CDROM shipped with my tablet recently broke and Acer replaced it with a 1394 CDROM/DVD RW, because the original CDROM is not available anymore. I am very happy because the 1394 drive is much better than the original, but --unfortunately-- it seems that the BIOS is unable to boot from that drive. Therefore, I am unable to use the recovery CDROM...
I have contacted the Acer tech support, and waiting for an answer.
Since the recovery CDs contain a Ghost image, if I could be able to create a DOS-bootable floppy disk that can mount the 1394 CDROM, I could probably run the recovery procedure manually.
Unfortunately, I cannot find 1394 drivers on the web. I have seen posts from some guys that have extracted the boot section from their recovery CDs shipped with newer models (eg. C110). The right drivers are probably the ones listed in the config.sys file:
