You can, alternatively, use a boot CD to gain access to your hard drive and get the important files out. If you don't really care for them, start recovery from boot. I don't remember what button to press... it is ESC, F2, F8, F9 or F10 immediately after you start the computer (before the ROG logo). This will take you to the "restore system" options. NOTE: this will erase everything on your computer and re-set it to "out-of-the-box" state.
