so what happend was i upgraded to vista ultimate 64, i didnt like it so decided to go back to vista premium. long story short when i tried f8 and their was no recovery option. i have my back up hard drive that it came with and it still has it's ''FACTORY.win'' image. im just trying to get this option back working when i hit f8 because i need all the orginal drives and everything.   p.s i know theirs other post on the same subject but didn't get them.
