I recently bought an Acer Aspire V5 laptop with Windows 8. I installed Ubuntu to take advantage of a few applications I like, and then realized that two of the main business applications that I need would not run on Ubuntu (none of the Windows emulators would work).
Before I installed Ubuntu, I created a recovery image on a flash drive, but that failed when I tried to go back to Windows. I ordered a new recovery flash drive from Acer, and I get the following error- restore failed- can not find image path:M:\recovery image\install.wim.
The acer support person advised me to use a third party application to format the hard drive, so I used gparted to complete the format. I attempted to restore the disk again (using the exact instructions from this forum), and I get the same error.
While the flash drive is attempting to restore the factory image, I do see that the recovery image drive M created, and the install.wim being applied.
Does anybody have any ideas how I can fix this issue? Thank you in advance.
