    Hi, I must admit that I am unsure of making such a crisis recovery, any instructions would be helpful, thank you.

    If you can take the thing apart and put it together as you have done, you can follow my simple instructions.
    Will take you a few minutes.

    wincris starts and error comes up there are no removable devices connected. I have tried two sticks both of which I know are working. The light on them lights but wincris always show no removable devices.

    Using the new package.

    Closed everything down, restarted and still wincris not recognizing that there is a usb stick.

    Got it to run. It has now put these on the stick:-
    BIOS.WPH
    PHLASH16.EXE
    MINIDOS.SYS

    So is that it done. Do I now put this in the broken acer and power it up?

    Don't have Vista to run a test. Access to an XP machine?

    Got wincris to run and the stick has the 3 files in the above post on it. Do I need to do anything else?
