Thanks for that answer topguncp! My husband is sighing as he is waiting to leave for a golf trip! But I told him until we got an answer, we are not leaving! Blessings to u all and thanks again!

Finally! It was caused from bad sectors on the harddrive! Using Aeomei I did more thorough testing, so I bought a new drive and we have the system reinstalled!! Thank you, thank you!! Now, I have ONE last question, I haven't rebooted yet, is this when I change it back to secure boot, or...

Alright, I won't give up! I am a terminal cancer survivor and while sick, I learned how to successfully disinfect machines and volunteered my time for free to the community for years. This is for my grandma, she is counting on me. I've had this for 6 weeks now! This has a Toshiba branded...

So excited to get to this point! Problem though :huh: It got to setup and as it was finishing up, I got an error: code 0x8007045d, couldn't finish setup. I ran chkdsk on the USB I was using to install. I had already ran seatools test on the harddrive and it tested out fine?? What to do now??

Yes, I probably should, but only have the .iso from local shop for 8.0 x 64 that will find the embedded key. I figured after I finally get it up and running and make a backup, then I will just download the 8.1 for free from Microsoft <fingers crossed>. I'm too afraid of torrents, and only want...

Yep, finally got it, but as you can see I am missing some letters.

Thank you for all the responses. Last night I tried to recover the partitions, but it couldn't recover them. I think my best option is to wipe and reinstall with (en_windows_8_x64_dvd_915440.iso) that will supposedly pick up the serial no in the bios. I have the above .ISO copied to a USB...

Sorry about replying to my own post, probably not polite, I apologize! My c drive doesn't know it is my c drive, I think?? I am in partition wizard in safe mode, here is a pic (Hope it's clear enough) of my broken system.

EDIT: Going to redo the iso on a CD, it doesn't like the memory stick. It allows me to choose it as a boot option, but then ask for the CD/DVD.......so going to do that real quick. skip the info below! Ok, I Just downloaded it to a 4 gb stick using Rufus as UEFI, now when I boot, should I...

At this point, I just want to get the computer in a working state I don't need to recover and data. Of course I would prefer to be able to extract the original key from the bios, but I can't figure how to run RW everything from a usb or external media. I am great at getting rid of...

I have Grandma's Asus Laptop with 8.0 OEM, while trying to fix the bootloader, I messed up the partitions with diskpart, etc. (I do not have the recovery on 16 gb stick) The laptop is UEFI w/GPT currently. It has a 500 gb hard drive. 1. Can I just reformat and use the system builder...

P.S. Forgot to mention I bought disk from Neosmart which includes Gparted. But it can't auto fix, so everything has to be done thru the command prompt. I am not good at dos commands.

Thanks Hawkman! (sorry about the delay, one of my best friends past away, I sat bedside for weeks) Here is where I am now: I have Windows 8 repair disk (under UEFI) in now and here are my partitions: And it is sitting at the x: in case the pic is cut off ******************* I couldn't...

Ok, Grandma is on limited income. I am "fairly" computer literate up to Windows 7, but this WIN8 is a pain with all the embedded bios and fastboot and UEFI. ****EDIT*** Forgot to mention I hear a slight clicking sound when the computer is "resetting", I am 99% sure it is the hard drive. I...

Thanks for your quick reply! :) I am in a different place now. i finally just hit the power button and shut it down. I am at the UEFI bios screen So, do I start a new thread or stay here?? ***************************** I want to boot from USb or from DVD with UBCD or Hiren's. Actually, once...

Asus laptop Win8 stuck at Resetting PC 2%, Only option is hard reset?? This laptop belongs to my Grandma (87 years old). **She did not make the recovery disk for the computer.** I got to the Recovery options and it has been stuck at 2% for about 6 hours. Asus OEM X55C WIN8 NOTE...
