    Was your old hard drive still working when you removed it?  Does it still have the OS on it?  If so, did you consider cloning the old drive to the new one? 

    If you can't do this, I suggest you visit https://secure.tx.acer.com/RCDB/Main.aspx?brand=acer and get a recovery disc.  I think they can be obtained; you probably did not persevere enough when trying to get support from them.

    What are these recovery discs and from where did you get them?
