Hi. Today i decided to do a fresh start on my Alienware Aurora to fix a few annoying problems i had. I thought i could then go back to the factory setup with the recovery partition. I been reading on the forums that in order to access the recovery, i had to press control + f11 at the boot screen. I been trying that for the past half-hour and the control+f11 keys simply do nothing. I have no idea how to access the recovery partition. Any suggestions?

P.S. i have Windows 7 64bit.
