Hello baal, welcome to NST.
Try Startup Repair (2-3 times, since it can only repair one thing per pass, and you may have several problems).

EDIT: Oh, and on second thought, what exactly is your computer doing? What error message?

Hi Baal, welcome to NST.
Our recovery disk is for repairing a broken boot. It contains no Windows installation files. You can't use it to install/reinstall Vista.
You need to power-on your PC whilst simultaneously tapping Alt and F10.
That will access the Acer hidden recovery facility which you can use to reinstall Vista, or to do a factory reset of your PC.
If you want to save your user files before they get overwritten, get yourself a Linux bootable system, boot it from the CD, and use it to save your files to external storage first.
