AlienRespawn Factory Restore

R3ckless,

When you "upgraded to Win8, did you repartition the drives and format them? If not, are you using these instructions?

Launching AlienRespawn outside of Windows
* This will erase the hard disk drive so if you can, save all of your documents, favorites, MP3's, etc. to DVD or USB key
* Turn the system off
* For Desktop computers - The only external devices connected should be the monitor, keyboard, and mouse. The mouse and keyboard should be plugged into USB ports on the rear of the system
* For Laptop computers - Disconnect all external devices from the laptop except for the AC adapter brick and power cord
* Turn the system on and press F8 as the system restarts to get into the Advanced options menu
* Choose Launch Startup Repair (recommended)
* Once there, choose Repair your computer
* Select your keyboard language and then click Next
* Your user name and password may be required. Just enter the login information and then click Ok
* At the System Recovery Options, choose AlienRespawn Restore and Emergency Backup
* Once the systems restarts, click Restore without preserving new or changed files
* Click Next
* Click Yes, continue
* Click Next
* A progress bar will move forward through the process. Once it reaches 100%, click Restart
* The system will restart and take you back into Windows

Hi Chris,

Using f8 or Repair your computer option always brings me to the windows 8 advance options. I can never find any option for alienrespawn restore here. Even respawn from windows reboots into this option.
