Anyone tried to use this? I did a successful complete PC backup. I then tried to restore by pressing F8 before boot, but I saw no menu item that allowed me to enter the system restore menu. Three boot choices of safe mode, and then other choices that didn't help me at all. I'm using RC2. Any thoughts anyone? Thank you.
