Tried to change boot to number (2 cd DVD,) to try it,hen pressed enter, nothing happened, but really don,t know what I am doing.:(

There will be a key to save after you make the change, usually f10

If I am correct then f12 on acers to choose , press f12 as soon as the acer logo comes on.
You want to go to Repair my Computer (bottom left on the Install screen choice)
Then startup repair ...
I am out for a while now, but someone else should help

few days ago, I saw, repair my computer, in windows error recovery mode, tempted to use it,but it,s not there now, and, none of the disks I have brings bios up, as tutorial says, so, haven,t got recovery disc?
The one I have, I have marked win7 sp1 media refresh, and a standard ISO, but, neither doing any good.
Edit.
Put disc in, pressed f12,got tried all 3options, finally got bios
Press any key to start.
Nothing happend,just goes back to windows error recovery,with only 3 options,
Normal, safe with network,safe mode, all of which don,t work.

Actually into bios and got w7 instal from cd up on screen!
Going to follow tutorial to see what happens, But, have no key?
Should it ask for one, as I recall it did when I installed it 3 years ago?

That will wipe the exiting one, I suggested startup repair first...
