I received an eMachines el1850-01e at my drop-off repair location that wouldn’t boot in to Windows.  It was hung up as if a setup had been started but was unable to finish.  The customer had no idea how it happened.

Upon trying to repair it, the customer let me know that the data wasn’t important and that I could wipe it out and reinstall from scratch.  Unfortunately for me, there was no indication how to boot into the recovery partition, assuming it wasn’t damaged.

I tried the F8 method and then choosing the utility option.  F11 did nothing, F10 asked me to change my winboot file.  Delete took me to the BIOS setup.

Finally, after a lot of trying, I found that holding alt + F10 simultaneously did the trick.  So, I did just that.  I rebooted and repetitatively hit alt+F10 until a black screen appeared asking me to edit the partition boot options or continue.  I hit continue and voila!

System recovery partition found.
