I posted in HD issues about needing to restore my PC to factory settings. Masterchefxx17 and joeten gave me the advice I needed. Though now I have another issue. I have an HP p6350z running Win7 when I hit F11 on start up I am not given an option to recover/restore. When the PC is up and running and I click on Recovery Manager it does not appear. When I CTRL+ALT+DEL it shows it in the background but will not come up (this same thing happens with Origin and Steam games now which is why I am restarting my PC after exhausting all other options, including antivirus permissions and the like.)
Though now I wonder if when I connected an external HD several months back if it is interfering with something. When I start the PC now I have to hit "ESC" to boot from my main HD, even when the external is not plugged in.
So basically my questions are how to I get to recovery when it seems blocked and is it possible the external is causing these conflicts where program launch in the background but do not load fully?
