One of our Acer machines at work somehow lost it's mind overnight. This morning somehow when it was booted, the recovery software came to life and it started doing a recovery from the hidden partition. It loaded the files ok, but when it came to the update section it didn't get very far and hung with a box that said Windows not loaded. reboot to begin setup (or something similar). It will just repeat this over and over. I took the drive out and looked inside with a usb adaptor and the origional files are still there and not overwritten. I used a windows disk to repair the boot. Still no go. Is there any way to reverse, or to get it unstuck. I tried a lot of things and nothing seemed to work.
