Key combination for Acer erecovery doesn't work after installing ubuntu

Initially, I had 3 partitions:

15G recovery
100M boot
950G Windows 7

I downsized the windows partition and installed Ubuntu 12 into the free space. Grub 2 found the recovery partition and added it to the menu. I can enter the recovery mode from Grub, but can't by pressing Alt+F10.

How to make Alt+F10 work?

If you can boot recovery mode from GRUB - do it from there. Alt+F10 option uses modified MBR record, it's possible to get this option only in price of lost GRUB.
