No F11- how can I recover factory image?

Hello, I am new to this forum. I am trying to fix a friend's laptop. His disk drive crashed and I had to install a new HDD.
Laptop is Flex 2-15D with UEFI and GPT disk format, Windows 8.1.
I managed to copy over the following partitions to the new HDD: WINRE_DRV SYSTEM_DRV(active) LRS_ESP LENOVO (drivers?) and PBR_DRV (recovery partition). I am missing the local_C drive and an undefined partition that was 128mb.
I believe I have the necessary partitions to do a factory recovery. I have no OS, of course, because I am missing the local_C drive that contained windows 8.1
When I power on, I get messages to allow entering the BIOS(UEFI) or to enter the boot menu to boot from CD, USB, HDD, etc. However, there is no F11 option to do a factory reset.
Can anyone help me recover the F11 function? I would think that if I could fix the boot manager, I could do a factory restore.
UPDATE
Whoa, I just found the NOVO button. It listed system restore as an option. When I selected it, it started loading windows and I thought it was going to be all good. Then I got a message saying onekey recovery partition was damaged..
Any suggesteions?

Hello zzmxj5,
Got your pm. I can't guarantee that this will work but you can give it a try. Just in case, try to make a backup of the recovered partitions just in case what follows will not be successful.
Rather than troubleshooting what you have accomplished so far I proposed that you make the pendrive project that I have given in this link (A DIY PROJECT: Creating a bootable OKR 8 Recovery USB Flash Drive (Rev 1.1)).
Instead of 16 GB use 32 GB flash drive. Here is the part that you need to modify: Refer to step V while copying the files as instructed in the indicated folders try to just supply what are missing, do not overwrite what's already in them. The reason is that the Evozi program already made the NOVO initiated OKR program operational. After making the pendrive, boot from it with the replacement drive connected.
That's it.
I hope this will help you and good luck!

On CS5, how can I recover jpeg images that were Batch Renamed prior to removal from my flashcard?

On CS5, how can you recover JPEG images that were accidentally Batch Renamed prior to removal from a flash card? Is it a total lose or can they be saved somehow?

If they were renamed on the flash card that is a poor practice. If renamed in Bridge the old names can be recovered it you have checked "preserve original name in XMP". If not you are out of luck. But you still have the images correct?

I tried to download images from a jump drive and now the jump drive seems blank. How can I recover the images? Is there a software program out there to do this reliably?

I took photographs with my Lumix camera (JPG) and put the sd chip into a jump drive and put them into my usb port to load. The images never loaded and now the sd chip has no images when I put it back into the camera. What can I do to restore the images? Is there Mac compatible software out ther to restore them? I am running a Macbook Pro OS X v 10.7.5. Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure I can help you with this situation. Odds are you probably can't recover the images if they aren't hidden in the card, but this just seems to be a fluke. I've had flash drives that be plugged in only to find out that was their iminant death.

How can I recover BFILE images from a table?

If you have access to a PC I believe - if memory serves me correctly - that the free download SubRip can rip the highlight overlays back to graphics files from the Menu VOBs
There is a subtitle ripping program for Mac - D-Subtitler - which may do the same job but I have never found it to be as good at ripping stuff as SubRip.
I guess the only other way is if they are not too complex is to recreate the overlays in Photoshop using frame grabs for reference?

How can I recover lost images from my iPad?

I connected my mums ipad to my macbook, which had previously synced my own iPad, itunes told me I had to set her iPad up, even though it had been set up before on a PC, I clicked to set it up in the same way as my ipad, and now all the images from my mum's ipad have disappeared and all my images are on her ipad instead. What can I do to get her images back?

You cannot sync with two different iTunes libraries. It will not work and it was not designed to work that way.
If your mum still have her PC - sync her iPad with her PC again in order to restore her content. If the pictures were in the camera roll on her iPad - she will have to restore from the backup and then sync with iTunes.

Help!!! the app Iphoto is closed marking a erros. I go back and open the application and are not photos. How can I recover them? Are not in the image folder.

I was editing my photos and adding them to a album and suddenly the app is closed marking a erros. I go back and open the application and are not photos. How can I recover them? Are not in the image folder.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

How can I recover the URL line; how can I recover the ability to backtrack?

I'm not super tech savvy. I didn't know what had happened when the system shifted from having a url line displayed with "back" and "forward" arrows.
Now, I don't know how to:
1)Find a url address so I can copy a url in order to send someone a link to a particular website.
2) Backtrack in order to get back to something previously viewed.
I'd appreciate any ideas on this.
Thanks,
Martha

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How can I recover my wifi password?

How can I recover my wifi password? My mac is still connected, but the vodafone store deleted my settings on my ipad!! I've tried keychain access and network preferences, but it doesn't show the password, just asks for the password. Is there another way?

Use a browser to log into your router. Navigate to the wifi settings and the passphrase will be there. The address of your router is manufacturer dependent but will be something like http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1.
If you can't log into your router for some reason you can reset it to factory defaults. Look in your router manual for instructions. Once reset to factory defaults the wifi pass phrase will be the one provided as default for your router model. Look in your router manual. You will then need to create a new pass phrase in your router wifi settings and then change the passphrase used in your wifi devices to match your newly created passphrase.

Once it's in recovery mode, everything on the phone is already gone. If you've been backing it up and syncing on a regular basis, it should restore just fine.

My Pages app for iPad tells me I can't open a document and even iCloud won't let me download it to my Mac, how can I recover my document?

I really don't know what happened to Pages. First I was using the app, working on a document and everything was fine. I updated it a couple of times and there was no problem. Then, when I tried to open it once more snd continue to work with it, a message appeared telling me that the document had been modified in other iPad. Usually this would make sense but not this time because this file was only used on my iPad. So I chose to keep the document version created on my iPad and **** got loose since then. The document could't open, every time I tried, a message told me "The file cannot be open", so I read A LOT of what to do in this horrible case and tried to open it via iTunes but the option withbthe little arrow that usually works for send the file via e-mail, or to dropbox, or to print appear like I can't use it for anything so most of my options and hopes died. Then on a Mac I tried to dowñoad the file to see if there I could open it or at least change the file code from .pages to .zip and then unzip it but I can't even dowload it form iCloud so you see, I'm desperate. I need help, please! The document is very very important so could you tell me how can I recover it?

Having the same issue, can someone please enlighten us?
