Hello!!

I'm not familiar with the asus hidden recovery. What OS are you running??Here's your manual!

 

Why were you trying to restore to factory?? The recovery may take more than two hours to complete

Here's a quick video explaining back to factory!

It is entirely possible that the Recovery Partition was already unavailable due to one reason or another and that interrupting the system recovery is not the cause of the present stalemate so I would like to suggest an alternative way of getting the computer back to a usable state, do you have a Windows 7 DVD disk or at least the 25 digit product code for the Windows 7 that was installed, this may be found on a sticker on the base of the notebook or sometimes beneath the main battery in the battery housing, if you have the product key we can provide the details for downloading an appropriate Windows 7 ISO.
