Hi, I'm not the most computer savvy person out there-so I may need extra explaining. I have an Asus ux32a zenbook and basically, I was wanting to reinstall my windows 8 back to the factory settings. Long story short, my recovery image I saved is deleted and I may have started formating my hard drive but am not sure. I try the f9 at startup to access the asus recovery but nothing hapens.
I have a copy of Windows 7 I was going to just install over it but when I go to the advanced set up where it asks where I want to install windows I get a long list of disk paritions that have OS, Data, Restore ect. already on it looks like , which makes me think I can still access windows 8 somewhere on my computer.
The problem is, when I boot my computer without an installation usb, it directly takes me to the bios and nothing else. My question is, is it possible to see if I can access my recovery partition, if there is one, just through bios, since that is my only option when I turn the computer on? Thanks in advance!
