Hello,
My acer netbook overheated and now won't boot up. It did go to the safe mode option but then kept going back to it and wouldn't boot. I can click on F2 and it goes to the setup utility, but since it doesn't have a disk drive I can't reload Windows XP, is there a way to retrieve my stuff and reload windows?

There should be a factory restore partition somewhere. As for getting your stuff back well all I can say is you better have a screwdriver, some serious disassembly/reassembly skills and a TON of patience as getting to the hard drive in a netbook is basically complete disassembly.
