In order to do a recovery install on your computer you will need either the restore media from the manufacturer, or to follow any alternate directions they may offer (recovery partition, etc). Contact the manufacturer for assistance.

I have an acer aspire one model no. ZG5, the windows XP Professional crashed and unfortunately I dont have a cd drive for it. It doesnt get past the Windows logo but brings a blue screen and then restarts giving the options of safe mode etc. Even after selecting one of the options, say safe mode, it repeats the same operation. Can I restore the windows using a flash drive? is it possible to recover it without a cd?
