    Hey, when i updated to win 8.1 i found out that i couldn't restore/recover my computer.
    Around the same time when i turn my pc on, and log ind, there came a blue screen where it says wait a moment, and i'll say that forever, when i then tried to restore/recover my computer, it says need media installation/recovery file.
    I then used my sisters computer recovery file and it worked, except now it thinks it's a packard bell laptop, and i dont want that. So i'm asking if it's possible to get Asus N550jv Backup/Restore file from you guys, who has the same computer?

    The built in system recovery partition should still be on there. Turn off the computer then back on and continually press F9 then follow the on screen instructions. Do be aware doing this will set it back to facorty settings so back up any files you dont want to lose.

    Yes, each manufacturer has it's own recovery media so they are not cross compatible.
