Well the story goes someone updated this MacBook Air to a current version of Maverick and now its slow and having issues. So they asked me to bring it back to factory image which would bring it back to Mountain Lion. However when I did the command - r it did not go back to anything except utilities and there was no mountain lion image as an option.
So i just want to make sure it i am doing it correctly and they are really trying to avoid buying the 19.99 download but i dont see any other option for it.
