recovery disks, are they available somewhere?
My daughter acquired an Acer Aspire v5-122 P 0649. I would like to reset the laptop to factory and go from there. However, the problem is when I go into Disk Management, although all the partitions are there, ie, Recovery - 400MB, EFI - 300MB, Recovery - 350MB, New Volume (E:) Primary - 11.28GB, and lastly, Windows (C:) 226.04GB, with 79% Free Space.... The big problem is all the partitions except for Windows (C:) are 100% Free Space. Even Volume (E:) which lists 11.28GB says it is also 100% Free Space??? It all must be true because I have tried factory reset several times and absolutely nothing... I have searched a lot for someone who has just the factory recovery disks, and nothing... perhaps they don't even exist.. Suggestions?

I would do a clean reinstall Windows, not do a recovery. Recovery, if available, puts it back to the way it came from Acer with all the bloatware. You can download a copy of Windows from the MS site. Then lookup clean install of Windows.
B4 doing this, you must backup all your data files, documents, pictures, videos etc. Otherwise, they will be gone.
