hi there. when you click f11 and then you click next. you will see the "advanced settings", click on it and chose back up to restore factory systems, you will see it. I forgot the name, so you just click on 'advanced settings', you'll know how to do it. good luck to you
But after doing this I lost my data of 200GB .... even after I took the back up over external hard disk ....please please please help me... I have 20000 or some thing official mails lost.... please help me out
factory restore should be the last option.... I lost everything after doing that... my data, all my originally buied SWs , programmes installed online... it goes back to original born baby insted of a build up & grown up chile that we make to our lappy during all its usage... dont do it.. instead try to go back one month & see if problem gets resolved... else try to find for that specific problem here on net & do the troubleshooting.....
