You have to change the grub.conf file in /etc, because the installer
imagine that windows is installed in the first partition of your disk.

But in the first partition there is the recovery partition from acer.

So, where you have 
title Other
        rootnoverify (hd0,?)
        chainloader +1
you have to replace the ? with the right partition.
I imagine that is 2 but you have to try

You can also duplicate the entry and rename 
Other -> Recovery partition
Windows -> the new added entry

the only difference between the 2 entries is the ?
