    F9 accidentally

    Press F9 when the notebook started to turn on, and now I'm stuck in the Asus Recovery Partition.

    I tried the restoration boot from windows 7 but does not work, but it ruined the boot from asus partition recovery.

    Could recover the boot from asus partition recovery, but returned to the starting point.

    It seems that when you press F9 it replaces my old MBR with a new one that only sees the recovery partition.

    I've tried windows xp instalation to get the windows recovery console, but give me a blue screen early in the startup.

    If I force an override of MBR I may never be able to run the Asus Recovery Partition again, because it has a specific MBR to do so.

    Do you have any idea how to get my old windows? I am not wanting to complete this restoration.

    Already tried that. Repairing Windows does not boot and still got screwed asus setup boot.

    Installation of Windows 7 can not see the partitions. It seems that when I pressed the F9 he blocked.

    i just tried it myself, i booted into recovery mode and then just shutdown the computer and it booted fine into windows...you might have maybe damaged something. In last case scenarion you can always install from scratch and reinstall and drivers and software manually...i know it would suck but that would be last resort.

    Also another thing i can suggest if you have the hardware for it, take out your primary drive and stick it into a SATA to USB cable, then plug it into another computer and make a backup manually. You might get a message that the drive is not accessible, just use Acronis Disk Director to get into it
