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.

Re: Acer aspire v5-571p-6815 debian install
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.
