Hayawane Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hi,I bought an Asus Zenbook UX302LG with Windows 8 preinstalled in it and I wanted to install Ubuntu in dual-boot. I made many attempts and at the end when I was turning on the pc, I hab the Grub Menu from where I was able to run Ubuntu 13.10. The windows option from the grub wasn't working but i was able to run windows by pressing escape during the Bootup and selecting it directly from the boot options of the efi menu. One day, I was on Windows 8 and it freeze, I restarted the PC and from there the only things that I get is a black screen even if I select Windows 8 by pressing escape during the Bootup. I tried to Reinstall ubuntu in dual-boot but it doesn't work.From there I attemps to restore Windows 8 with an recovery media that I created before trying to install Ubuntu but it's an SD card and now I realise that I can't boot on an SD card.......I ask the Asus support and they told me to sent back my computer, thing that I can't do because I'm abroad or to press F9 during the bootup to select the recovery patition but when I do it the only things that I get is a black screen......I'm asking you some help to run this recovery partion to restore restore windows 8.
