I did a native UEFI install. Now I cannot boot into windows with the "boot configuration data file is missing" error. It gave a directory of EFI/Microsoft/Boot/BCD. The error appeared, ironically, after I updated windows.
So I tried to replace the bcd without achieving anything. I searched a lot of sites, and none of the fixes (bootrec, bcdedit, etc) works.
I already wiped the drive and reinstalled windows 8, so I can't get the dump file. But I have a feeling this will happen again. My previous win 7 installation went in a blue screen loop, that's why I switched to 8. Anyway, in case that happens again, how should I solve this?
