Within 2 days last month my screen blew, mouse stopped working (left button, electronics ok) and then windows refused to boot. Acronis refused to restore until I eventually figured out to change some BIOS settings to a disk compatability mode.

Basically wasted one whole sat getting back to normal.

They can definitely be an expensive black hole for time and money when you least expect it. My Acer laptop has a partition with all the XP and recovery software on it - you don't have any such area on your laptop perhaps?
