    A search turned up nothing so the question is has anyone made the Factory Recovery Flash Drive for the N585 and got the flash drive to actually do a factory recovery?
    I bought this N585 with win 8 from Best Buy a few days ago and was surprised to see that they do not offer the option to create the Factory Recovery on optical media only on a usb flash drive.
    I got Acronis True Image to work with this laptop - yes, I tested a Recovery and it works but I would like to get the factory recovery flash drive to work also as it is more convenient.
