Probably unlucky and a bad burn, it happens. Otherwise posibly the hard drive needs formatting first.
If you can connect your hard drive in a caddy to anither laptop/computer, it might be orth going into disc management on that other lap/top/computer, and formatting and setting as active, then tryig again with your discs.
I cannot see a link to get them from Acer- but the discs are available from here for under £4
Or, for £19.95 from here
