Did the Acer Aspire 5732Z recovery partition is on the Hard drive?
If I change the Hard drive it will let me use the recovery partition to bring my laptop as new or I need to purchase a recovery disk or new OS. From the Bios my hard disk is dead (not shown at all) and when I checked it on another pc via a usb cable many bad sectors were found.

Hi..
The drive that you say is now dead contained the recovery partition , a replacement would not.
You have the product key on the base..
Replace the hard drive.
Borrow a windows installation disc that is a match ( Pro , basic , premium ) in vista ,xp etc.
And use your legitimate product key .
You can use the Applications and Drivers backup disc (You should have made with eRecovery) and can run that in the same way as you would any standard software installation to restore most of the Acer software and drivers ...
Alternatively your can download the required drivers from on-line.
The exception is eRecovery management it's self .
Acers eRecovery uses two partitions and one (pqservice) contains an image of the factory OS that you no longer have and D that contains erData folder that contains user backups..
The factory "restore" disc is just that and not an installation disc it needs eRecovery to run that you no longer have on the replacement drive .
I have done this my self and is the best option..
