Notebook is ASUS G55VW (1 ssd, 1 hdd)
issue is already described here http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?28454-G55VW-F9-not-working-after-restore-WIN-8
to sum: 1. I backuped whole system with Paragon Image Backup for Windows 8 2. Win 7 was installed 3. I decided to restore Win 8 installation from backup made before (whole filesystem structure) 4. Win 8 is working, but F9 button to reinstall the system from hidden recovery partition is not working + when I try to reinstall Win 8 from Windows enviroment always ends with an error (launch recovery enviroment etc)
I do not know if this is related information for problem solving

hi ernie, F9 worked before plus what I wrote that from Windows enviroment reset is not working, always end with an error - there are several ways to reinstall Win 8 (as mentioned in link you posted), but none works here since restore – user193530 – 2013-01-28T22:03:55.967
@user193530 I'm not sure how it ever worked; as stated, UEFI Win8 systems do not support using the keyboard to interrupt the boot process – ernie – 2013-01-28T22:06:57.070
I do not need F9 to work in case I persuade Windows to see restore partition and to be able to reinstall from Windows enviroment – user193530 – 2013-01-28T22:13:01.097
@user193530 So did you try to reset using the information from the second link I provided? In other words, boot into the UEFI menu, and select reset from the Win8 menus . . . – ernie – 2013-01-28T23:59:43.087
@user193530 - You sure your recover partition contains what you think it does? – Ramhound – 2013-11-22T00:14:50.267
