acer restore failed reason 0xd0000017

Should you have this problem with your acer while trying to restore the vista partition, simply download, burn, and run this utility to zero out the hard drive partition. Then, run the restore again. Works like a charm. I got into this situation after blowing the vista partition away with a linux install. YMMV.

Your blog entry saved me driving a wooden stake through the heart of my Acer. :)

Thanks for the help. That worked perfectly in my moment of extreme frustration.

I'm about to try this method if my cheap acer rom drive decides to work. I too had a linux install and assume that is the issue. Acer is junk.
