    Hello everyone, I thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
    I'm currently trying to set my sony sz back to factory defaults. I had dual booted vista/ubuntu and now my recovery option is missing from the startup. I'm still able to access the partition in ubuntu and the partition reads as healthy in vista, but I can't seem to get the boot option back. I'm pretty sure there is a way to use bcdedit to add a recovery entry, but I lack the knowledge to do this. I've looked up and read a few tutorials on using bcdedit, but I don't know how or what is accessed on that partition to start the recovery process. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
