Acer One Netbook - Recovery issues

I have the Acer Aspire One 150-1029:

1.6 Atom
1gb ram
160Gb HDD
Windowx XP preinstalled
Recovery partition
NO Opticals

I put Ubuntu netbook remix on the laptop so it could dual boot and after killing grub using ms-sys and restoring my windows mbr I tried doing a full restore of the drive using acers eRecovery software that come preinstalled and it's rebooting but not even attempting to load the recovery software (I have recovered it about 5 times since I bought the netbook). Is there a way to recover this and reinstall windows short of trying to find the "Special" version they made for netbooks UXMD or something, and having a fresh install of windows and the recovery partition to be rebuilt?

Thanks
 
The recovery boot was probably screwed with the Linux installation. This happens a lot. The only recovery that I know of is to either set up a USB installation or contact Acer to get a CD and use an external CD/DVD reader.
