Answer 1

It looks like they removed it from that location. You can still do it by:

• Right clicking on the DB
• Click on tasks
• Click on generate scripts
• Go through the wizard and select your tables
• On the options page click the Advanced button
• Change the "Types of data to script" option, from the default "Schema only" to "Schema and data".

Answer 2

In SQL Server 2008 R2 you can go on the DB, right click on DB -> Tasks -> Generate scripts. This is the wizard for scripting the objects (with or without data). Follow the stepts described on the first page. At the third stept, "Set Scripting Options", after you choose your way to save /publish your data, you go on "Advanced" and there, for General Options, at line "Types of data to script" you can choose to script also your data ("Schema and data").
