By default, most Acer systems have two disk partitions, one Acer (disk C), which contains system files and applications, and AcerData (disk D), which is used to store the user's personal files and folders.
From a technical point of view, you can use other software to merge two partitions into one. As long as the partition containing the system recovery is not damaged, you can still use Acer system recovery to install the original driver normally. However, Acer does not recommend that you do this.
