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.
L V,
When you install, the partitioner will ask you several questions during setup. DO NOT choose 'use entire disk.' Click/check only the 687G partition and you'll be fine.
Alternately, check you Windows help files. There may be a possibility that you can create a set of restore CDs. There is on my Acer so I think it fairly safe to assume that your Acer system has the same option. That way, if you do botch your installation, you can always use your restore CDs.
Keep us posted.

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.

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