Acer:
Hard Disk Recovery
should be enabled by default. If it is not, you may need to go into your system’s BIOS by hitting F2 at boot and enable it under the Advanced tab.
Once Hard Disk Recovery is enabled, restart the system and hit ALT+F10. This will begin the system recovery process. You will be prompted to type six zeros as a security step. Type 000000 to proceed.
This will return the system to factory settings and with the original OS. The only exception is if the Win7 was a full install and not a upgrade. In this case if the Recovery partition was deleted then it will not work.

If it does not go to the recovery part then there is a possibility that it is not there. As I said if the Win7 disk you have is a full version then you may have formatted the system to install it.
It would help if you explained which Win7 disk you have is.

OK then the upgrade disks won't work to reload the system without a already installed OS. At least what I can advise you to do. With a little googling there are ways to do it but I cannot advise you on how to do it.

Nope I can't advise on that but if you are not finding anything you may need to rephrase how you google things..
