I dont believe you can undo a reset/refresh unless you made an image of wiin8 at some point when it was running..

You may have to reinstall that downloaded version.

Which reminds me Im going to do one today! I have my win8 setup very nice, I dont want to have to re-do it...

that's my problem I don't have any of the files I had before including the original win8 download. surely there's a way to redownload it since I've paid for a win 8 upgrade for this computer

Problem resolved, a quick call to microsoft customer services and they resent my confirmation E-mail with my product key inside.
Thanks for the help :)
