How much time is required for notebook pc recovery?

@sachh21 

Doing a Recovery by pressing F11 immediately after powering on is usually a bit faster than booting from Recovery Media. If all goes smoothly it should be finished in about 1-2 hours.

Thanx CherylG for response. After recovery all data is vanished. I need ms office can you tell me from where I get it

How do I reboot a computer with a polio that says
Selected boot image did not Authenticate
I kept restarting the laptop but it won't boot up

If you bought a license from Microsoft, you can verify on their website, or call their support and get a download and key to restore your software. If you have the key, goto office.com and do a little reading. You should be able to download your version. Once installed, you can ever your key. Poof, your office is back.
