Hi Loy, May I refer to your email below, do you mind if I ask you, then what program do you use to restore back your image. Is a totally blind can use your method of restoring reliably?

Hi, Windows has a built in system image utility that has worked well for me. I have an external hard drive and I make a new image about once a week so if something happens I have my exact image to restore back to my computer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher-Mark Gilland via Talk" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 03, 2015 1:02 PM Subject: Final outcome > OK, guys, so regarding my Win 8.1 laptop and the whole shenanigan I > wrote about the other day with me really screwing up my recovery etc... > > So, I called Asus.
