2 year old laptop...hard drive corrupted/damaged so I bought a replacement solid state drive. I want to use my recovery USB drive to boot from to bring system back to life and set up new hard drive, but even though I've made the USB the top priority in the boot order it does nothing but go to an ACER utility that gives me options like chosing the language; troubleshooting; then resetting the system. If I turn on the laptop without the USB plugged in it tells me there's no bootable device...so i know it sees it when it is plugged in...it just never boots from it (I'm assuming it would enter a recovery process, which is what I want).
What am I missing here? Should I just give up on the recovery USB stick and just select "Reset your PC"? Or can I somehow get it to boot off the USB and start the recovery process?
Thanks in advance.
