    I just bough a new ThinkPad edge E330 with Windows 8 64bit. I want to perform factory reser but I did wrong (I choose "Reset Your PC") After that I went back to Windows 8 and tried to make a Rescue and Recovery Disk using the Windows 8 feature but I again got the same message asking me to insert the installation disks for Windows 8.(I dont even have a place to put DVD)


    I cant perform any factory reset now what should I do please help me


    I didnt do a backup of recovery media as stated here I didnt know Methodology to create Recovery Media and reload a Lenovo Think system with Microsoft Windows 8 preload


    How can I factory reset my PC now? I still have my lenovo_recovery hidden drive which is around 17gb I followed this method here https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T...tore-ThinkPad-T530-with-Windows-8/td-p/988997 but it didnt work for me.


    Please help me I am desperate.

    Can someone please tell my why the option "reset ur pc" did this to me? I dont understand I didnt do anything wrong.


    Windows is saying:

    "Some required files are missing. To troubleshoot problems when your PC can't start, use your Windows Installation disk or media." This is the message I get when I try to create a recovery disk. Let me remind u that I still have my hidden partiton HDD, lenovo_recovery with image file there but I dont know how to recover from there.

    PS. I still can acess F11 option but I still cant restore
