Is this compatible with Acer AO725-0687? Will I be able to restore OS with Recovery Drive?

The HDD should be able to fit just fine. As to the recovery drive, unless there is already a second HDD in the system then the recovery drive is a partition on the the HDD that you want to replace.

probably not. Acer makes things incompatible so you have to buy a new computer

No, send this back to Acer/Gateway again for repair because of BSOD. Time will tell to see if issue is resolved.

you're referring to an OS recovery disc I assume... my guess would be no. Most PCs now a days do not include that (at least not included for no additional cost), but you should have an option to create your own using blank DVD+Rs or USB flash drive Look for the HP Recovery Manager

I don't know as I never did it. If I were you, I would call acer and ask them. Sorry I couldn't help. Good luck!

Yes it should all you should have to do is swap out the motherboard and reinstall your os.

Yes, but you will need the product code for the OS on the unit if your using a recovery disc. If you have the original install disc, then the code should be on it or on the side of the computer.

Yes. I am running my OS on this drive. I had to switch to legacy boot mode to get it to work.

This computer crashed after 2 months of owning. I caled both AOL and Acer for help and essentially got shown the door. After 2 hours of trying every restore and any other solution I could think of, miraculously the issue was resolved. Would I purchase another Acer? No. No discs come now as they used to, so you talk about planned obsolescence? All oem's now want you to keep buying cheap product. If I were to purchase another computer I would look at a HPQ.

It's definitely OEM with no media. There is a recovery partition which contains everything you need should you need to rebuild, etc...and as a side note, the drive is partitioned C: and D: by default. I was able to delete D: and extend C:, since I prefer one contiguous space...cheers

I don't have info on the Acer laptop. But searching on the Internet at this URL. Provides some insight.http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/286092-32-acer-aspire-as5560g-7809-support

if you have the bootable installation disk or USB, there'll be a prompt that will ask you: install the OS, restore from Time machine or enter Disk utility. Good luck!

It (AOD150-1165) did not come with Recovery Disk but it can generate the recovery CDs (or DVDs) for you using the installed utility.You will need a USB attached CD/DVD writer and some recordable media (6 CD-Rs for System Recovery + 2 for Apps and Drivers, OR alternatively 2 DVD-R for Recovery + 1 DVD-R for Apps and Drivers)

it's just a flash drive. format it however you want. should work with any OS. if not, send it back.

I cannot say for your exact Acer but I can say for mine it hooked right up, windows detected it and installed the drivers right from its drivers. Worked great right from the start. Have used it to do new OS install as well as a full system backup with no problems.

I complained to acer about the pop up to create a recovery disk w/o a drive and though I didn't get an answer, 4 days later the recovery disks arrived in the mail. So I am very satisfied w/the service

worked fine on mine. I have backed up a win8 laptop & win7 laptop on one c6 clickfree. I then checked randomly for specific files and found them without issue. I have not tried a restore at this time. So far I like it.
