    I had already checked the link above before posting this.
    My main problem is that when i try F8 and repair your computer, it still boots normally and doesn't go into the repair mode.
    I want to restore my Laptop to factory defaults.
    Please advise.

    Try tapping F8 more frequently after the first beep when you are in the BIOS POST. I think F8 needs to be hit just before the Windows splash screen. If you miss it then Windows just starts.

    Goto Elevated Command Prompt
    And do
    Code:
    bcdedit/enum  all>bcdoutput.txt
    post bcdoutput.txt
    You can delete it afterwards

    Do you see "windows is loading files" after selecting "repair your computer"?
