I purchased the above laptop with win8 and touchscreen today. When I
checked disk management I found that it already have 4 primary partitions;
1)500 mb recovery,
2) 500 mb for EFI
3) 687gb for running win8 and
4) 11.5gb for recovery partition.
Though I can install debian in virtual machine, is there any possiblity of
dual booting keeping recovery partitions as I do not want to forego
warrenty. Any one has installed dual booting in such a system?

We'd like to think so but . . . .

. . . . these CDs may come in useful if L. V. does more than click on
the 687G partition.
I dont have any option for making recovery cds. It gives option to make
recovery USB stick. There are already four primary partitions, out of which
3 ie EFI system and 2 recovery partitions are hidden.

thanks. I have gone through the thread. I did not find any solution there.
Because UEFI, even debian boot disk will not boot until boot mode is made
to legacy BIOS. I am unable to make images also.

Please bottom-post.
Look for Acer eRecovery Management in your Windows applications. It'll
allow you to create recover CDs/DVDs.
