Comment on Installing Windows 7 on Acer Aspire Revo by slipperypete

Nice guide! installed Win7 Home Premium (x86) via a usb DVD drive and all working fine (networking, peripherals, sound, although not tested HDMI yet).

Used Ubunto 9.10 cd and the partition utility to set up the partitions first.

I’ve accidentally deleted the contents of my revo partition. Is there anyway i can get it back? I called acer and the only way to fix this was to buy a copy of winvista. Can you send me a copy of your clonezilla version? Î am desperate. Thanks for your time

Comment on Power Consumption of Acer Aspire Revo by finster

Hi Patrice,

I guess it’s all relative – I feel that 20 watts is pretty low considering what this machine will do. My QNAP was about 14W idle but wouldn’t really run PHP and MySQL that well (especially if torrenting at the same time). Other old machines that I thought of running as a server were a P3 1Ghz (34W idle) and a P4 1.7Ghz (55W(!) idle). So I’m happy with 20W.

Hello,

I’ve just dropped a message on your previous blog, I hope you will get it, it’s about QNAP NAS.

For instance, do you feel 20 watts to be particularly low ?

I use actually a Pentium-m laptop that just consuming 25 watts in normal operation (speed at 800 mhz), and I still have an old Dell Pentium I, that I have tuned to be solid state and Odb that is consuming as few as 9watts…

Regards, Patrice

thanks but where to find “revobuild”, I only have “acer recovery” but no way to backup the drivers to a USB key, only a DVD player and I have none!
I am in France and the ACer Revo did not come with all the features (no linux part for example)
Thanks!
