I have a recovery DVD for when I can’t access it, and I followed a video that walked me through the process. I tried every step, checked the priority settings, used the right C mode commands, and pressed F8 repeatedly, but nothing appears. Instead of seeing the usual boot menu, I only get the “select boot device” option. Since Asus didn’t provide a guide for this, I’m worried about losing my important files. I don’t have the manual, and the official Asus FAQ doesn’t cover this issue. Anyone know what to do? Which key replaces F8 on an Asus Z-87 Deluxe? Thanks for your help!
Can you access your login screen? Yes, press and hold Shift while clicking the power button to restart. Once it restarts, release the shift key. If you're having trouble, when the system boots up with spinning dots, gently turn off your PC a few times. This will put your Windows into repair mode where you can choose boot options, including safe mode.

. However, this means I might need to remove it and I don’t have another motherboard to try a recovery.F8 isn't functioning. Allow the computer to boot and when the Windows logo appears, restart it. You may need to try several times. After that, it will scan and repair the drive (lol). Then the recovery options screen will appear—click advanced and look for next boot settings.
