I am trying to repair my brother's acer aspire 5517....it doesn't boot up, and he has broken the dvd reader.....so I have replaced the hard drive and bought a portable media drive....however, since I can not boot the computer it doesn't recognize the media drive. whether i use f10, f8, f12 it tells me to check the Cable Connection, and CDBOOT: memory overflow error...
When I use f2, it asks for a password...which unfortunately he changed and can not remember....
I have the recovery disks that he purchased from Acer...but they are no help since I can't get anything to read them.....
Help please....
