Download: Acer Aspire One Windows XP Restore Discs
The problem: Acer didn’t include a way to burn the Windows XP restore discs with the Aspire One. They also didn’t included the discs. Thus, to restore your OS if something goes wrong, Acer is violating the EULA by making you purchase restore discs.
The solution: We’re hosting the restore discs for you to download.
Keep in mind that these discs will only work on an Acer Aspire One that came with Windows XP pre-installed. They will not work if your Aspire One came with Linux… so please, don’t bother trying. And, we don’t like piracy, so we wouldn’t be hosting these discs if you could modify them to work with your ordinary PC, they only work with the Aspire One.

Thanks.
the disc 2 download dont work
Files over 2 GB often have trouble downloading on some connections. Try using a file download app that supports resuming.
I download both of the above discs and have burned them onto a dvd. I followed the instructions. for example, went into the bios and changed to boot from my external dvd drive. rebooted. External DVD lights up and disc spins but nothing changeson the Aspire, it goes to the XP load screen and hangs.
Any suggestions!
