The ACER restore CD's has an undocumented option to restore to the
existing partition structure - worth asking the people who supplied it
if this is possible, even if unsupported.

Not sure why you need removal media if it will take CDs. But I'd test
with Knoppix or similar a lot before doing it, otherwise I assume it is
a vanilla Debian install?
