Hi, I have an Acer Aspire computer with dead 8.1. I also have a number of problems:
My product key sticker was peeled off, I need a bootable product key finder
I have tried installing multiple systems, including Linux based systems. They all do not work, I believe it's because of damaged partitions or other things of the system [This is my brothers laptop, physical damage from anger issues]. So I need something bootable or something to wipe my drive to install a fresh OS.
I can run all systems live via a bootable USB. I just cannot fully install them.
Incase this helps. when I try to use gparted and similar programs in linux, it gives me two errors:
Sometimes its error reading dev/sdb
or its fsync error input output dev/sdb.
If I open the discs program in LINUX, it detects the hard drive and it says its going to be failing very soon.
I do know how to, but I don't want to have to install a new hard drive. Leave that as a very last option.
Please help!
