Hi,
Ok, no luck with F8 in anyway, even if using arrow keys and not selecting the system.
more information for you:
1. The windows 7 system option in the boot stage has disapppeared now, leaving only windows 8 and windows 7 recovery, so you will probably know more about that than me.
2. I tried again with windows boot cd to go to recovery/restore/repair options. Tried to repair Windows 7 recovery system but got the following message:
THEVERSION OF SYSTEM RECOVERY OPTIONS IS NOT COMPATABLE WITH THE VERSION OF WINDOWS YOU ARE TRYING TO REPAIR. TRY USING A RECOVERY DISC THAT IS COMPATABLE WITH THIS VERSION OF WINDOWS.
Perhaps it is telling us that there is a sysprep recovery disc somewhere, again, you would know about this.
I did all 3 command lines, in elevated command prompt in windows 8, all ran successfully but I don't know what to post you and what to delete because I don't know where to find whatever it was that I we did? Nothing popped up, or appeared, there was nothing extra on the desktop, ......just the command prompt.
If you want me to find that key in the registry and copy and send it to you then I could do that.
