[QUOTE="Brink, post: 175228, member: 19"] Hello cheesum, Sorry, but no. The recovery USB flash drive created in this tutorial will not be able to reinstall Windows 8. It only let's you boot to the "[U][B][URL="http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2269-system-recovery-options-boot-windows-8-a.html"]System Recovery Options[/URL][/B][/U]" screen to try and repair Windows 8 instead. For what you are wanting, you will need to create a set of OEM factory recovery discs or an OEM factory recovery USB flash drive instead. If this is for your Lenovo, then this below may help.
