tried that as well and still nothing. There is even a boot over ride in bios and it did nothing. I did manage to get Disc recovery up once… I got some pop ups with red "x"s in Japaneses I think. It did not want to do system restore, nor a repair. Since i back up my data and I have a PC image back from Nov I was going to do a factory reset. But SamSung told me I needed to prep certain things in Bios, and when i went to Bio to prep it those options where not even listed. The Laptop which is a 64 bit Win 7 btw is a little more than a year old and I do not beat it up that much since I use it for audio production. It mostly sits on my workstation at home.
