Reformatting Acer Extensa 5620Z
Discussion
My almost 2 year old Extensa lapdancer has been running as slow as a mule recently and to nail the coffin down caught a virus on Tuesday. So off I trot to find the OS and reboot discs, however they are nowhere to be found in the office!.
So how am I able to reformat and start all over again without the discs?
Ive tryed the ALT + F10 factory reset but all that seemed to do was re install my C drive, still runs like a sake of shhhite.
Any help would be great or should I just chuck it out the window and demand a new one from the gaffer.
Thanks in Advance.

Get your hands on a OS disc and do a reinstall

Did a factory reset (ALT + F10) and have run AVG anti-virus now, hadnt realised that the Norton anti-virus software ran out aswell.
AVG isn't showing any viruses currently but still running quite slow if I have a couple of programs running.
Think it might be time for a fresh operating system..
How much RAM has it got?
A couple of gig module is only 30 or so quid now and makes a massive difference.
2 years old? Does that mean it is on Vista? W7 is supposed to be a lot better.
Otherwise Ubuntu is a good shout if you haven't got anything that must run on Windows.
