I wonder if anyone has told you need that drive?
by r. proffitt Forum moderator Feb 5, 2012 1:56AM PST

Most any USB DVDRW drive will do. Compared to the cost of any encounter at a service counter, this is far cheaper.

Also, you write you need help but you did not write if you checked that MSCONFIG setting shown in the link.

If it was something else, the water gets deep fast and the stones we tied to your feet are doubled.

First step. make the recover media. Here's how.
by Forum moderator Feb 5, 2012 1:39AM PST
http://oem.windowsreinstall.com/acer/acerrecoverydisks.htm (and other sites) note how.

"Open the Acer eRecovery Management program
Click the burn disk button at the bottom
Click the create factory default disk button
Put a blank DVD in the drive when prompted and follow the remaining
on screen instructions
Please keep your recovery disk safe as if something happens to your
computer (for example you change the hard disk drive) you can boot
your computer using this disk and restore the computer to its
original settings.

This will not remove your original hard disk drive based recovery
and you can still run this using Alt + F10 or through the Acer
eRecovery management utility."
