I have a minor issue with my Windows 7 SP1, I am trying to test a recovery image on my pc but upon pressing F8 I see no option to "Repair your computer". Else where on the internets people have tried bcdedit to fix the issue, fixing the mbr and repairing the recovery drive in the reserved portion of the hdd. If I were a tech legend I would attempt these fixes, alas I am not.

I have read that certain files and folders have a set file size. If the files I have don't match with what should be there then there in lies a clue. A little more digging around the internets might yield and answer. Did you do a 'clean' install of Win7 meaning the reserved could be recovery partition or did you do an upgrade from Vista?
