Hey guys, I want to ask your opinion on this.
After installing the 8.1 preview on my Surface RT, I decided it'd be best to go back to 8.0. I was prepared to do this, and so had made a recovery flash drive of 8.0. It didn't go well apparently and I saw this:

When I turn it on and hold the volume down button, I can get these screens (with a wired keyboard attached):

https://skydrive.live.com/pagenotfounderror
However, when I choose the option to "Repair Your Computer" the screen just goes blank and will stay that way.
.
I went to the Microsoft Store today, a kiosk one, and the guy said that I could exchange it, but it carried a $50 deductible with the extended warranty. I didn't do it yet, because I don't think I'm really responsible for the reinstall operation screwing up. Obviously I installed prerelease software, but the problem wasn't so much with that as it was with reinstalling 8.0 with a recovery flash drive, which they recommend on their site. I dunno, not trying to be a cheapskate complainer either... what do you guys think?
