How to enable Windows 7 recovery after installing Ubuntu?

I bought a Asus K series laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium. I removed Windows and installed Ubuntu.

I left the recovery partition untouched and Ubuntu created an entry in GRUB named Windows Recovery Environment (loader). When I boot into this, Windows 7 logo appears and then a screen with Asus logo appears but the laptop reboots automatically without displaying the recovery options window.

In the default setup, F9 loaded the recovery screen but now that doesn't work either. What should I do to recover the factory setup of Windows?

I figured it out accidentally. Hitting just F9 or booting into the Windows Recovery Environment grub option doesn't work. Only a combination of both works!

F9 must be hit before grub loads and then the Windows Recovery Environment must be chosen for boot in grub.
