Solved! Reinstallation of ACER + Media Center

[Guest]

Hello,
I lost everything on my Acer 5100 laptop. Someone installed Windows XP Home Edition, but I cannot access the original ACER program and, therefore, Media Center which was already on the computer when purchased. HELP!

Were there recovery disks that came with it? If not, there should be a recovery partition that you can access by hitting f5 (or whatever the function key is for acer) as soon as you start the computer.
