    Please do not bump your own thread without waiting at least 25 hours. That is against the forum rules here.

    Regarding your question, you cannot do this UNLESS the BIOS itself supports the F key option. The ONLY software running as you boot up (when you would have to hit the F key) is the BIOS. So if it doesn't already support this functionality your are out of luck.

    Backup software like Acronis True Image will provide similar recovery partition functionality. Norton Ghost also provides this function.

    You could set up your own custom partitions of course with GRUB.
