I am currently working on the above laptop. Laptop has a virus and a very noisy fan. Started work today by reinstalling Windows Vista using the recovery console. To access the recovery console on an Acer 5735 first go in to the BIOS (F2 at start up) and ensure that recovery partition is enabled.
Now when you reboot you will see the option at the bottom of the screen to start recovery console. Once started the machine reinstalls Vista from the built-in recovery partition (takes about an hour).
It took a little while to update all the hardware drivers, but the Acer has built-in driver update software so it automates the updating of drivers (takes about an hour).
