I was on the system recovery section of my laptop seeing if reinstalling everything would work
This is called Acer eRecovery
I tried to do it then it came up with D2D32 type mismatch and would not work on that either
Any solutions? I do not mind resetting my system

D2D32 type mismatch - Part 3 of my problems :(
(19 posts)
yes
I saw similar things
I am going to kick up a lot of fuss on the phone tomorrow - just you wait Acer
whs did you see that I had major problems with this laptop before when it was on a constant loop of always having to startup repair
i ended up doing eRecovery (which worked that time)
its only just 6 months old!
Join the club. We all had similar problems - disks, optical drives, scrollpads, you name it. But there is no reason to get all exited. If I were you, I would talk to Acer in calm but firm words. No need to get the poor fellow at the end of the line all worked up - he did not build the thing. He is just trying to help.
Aleeve, I've been looking around on this particular error. It seems that d2d32.exe is an executable on the recovery partition, perhaps *the* main executable for Acer eRecovery. The name would come from Disk-2-disk 32-bit. I did find one forum post with someone who also had the type mismatch, there were no answers.
Also, in the manual for your system, there is a mention of D2D as a setting in the BIOS that needs to be on in order to use the recovery partition:
"Enable disk-to-disk recovery
To enable disk-to-disk recovery (hard disk recovery), activate the BIOS utility,
then select Main from the categories listed at the top of the screen. Find D2D
Recovery at the bottom of the screen and use the <F5> and <F6> keys to set this
value to Enabled."
alright, i just finished restoring my laptop. i guess it was my fault why the error popped up. i was trying to repartition my HD (before, i partitioned it at 60-90), but the disk management in vista won't let me. so i figured i could format and repartition it from one of my old XP installers (i repartitioned from the XP installer and installed XP). i guess, it was carelessness (or stupidity) i deleted the contents of the whole HD, created 1 partition for XP and created another partition, but i think i didn't format the second partition or something. after installing XP (didn't bother to install the drivers), i popped the vista recovery dvd in and rebooted and encountered the error.
i panicked and tried to do all sorts of things, tried all sorts of partitioning tools which i didn't understand how to use, installed ubuntu (only problem was i didn't know how to setup the wireless network, i couldn't go online), installed and reinstalled XP. after 15 - 17 hours, i only realized that the D drive (2nd partition) wasn't formatted when my brother accidentally clicked on it. after formatting it, i tried the recovery dvd for one last time and got it to work (i was literaly jumping up and down in my room).
@Lighthouse
yeah, i'm starting to learn that the hard way. i've been messing around with my laptop since this is the very first computer that I actually own and don't share with anyone (i used to share our desktop with my brothers) so i get a little excited when trying to do things to it.
@Aleeve
yep, i sorted it out, kinda, it still has a few problems, which i haven't figured out how to solve yet, but i'll find it, eventually.
