you can boot from recovery partition if the HD is still alive (alt+f10 at acer boot screen)

If not you need to contact acer and buy recovery disk, but then again you will need to buy a new hard drive too.

Next time you buy a laptop, you have an utility to create recovery disk from within windows: do that first next time.
