Solved Windows 8.1 not booting

Try following in command prompt
Code:
diskpart
list disk
select disk [number] (number of the disk you want, if you have 1, type 0(zero), if you have multiple type choose the number of the disk that contains windows)
list partition
select partition [number] (choose the partition number that contains windows installation)
active

Everything between () is for information, don't type it in command prompt
The [] also don't type it, just the numbers.

Aha!
After running: chkdsk c: /f /r /x it came up with a error. The line that the error was on goes like this:

You're missing some partitions.
Try in command prompt
Code:
[B]create partition efi
format quick fs=fat32
list partition
list volume [COLOR=red]Note:[/COLOR] Note the volume letter where the Windows OS is installed.
exit

bcdboot X:\windows [COLOR=red]Note:[/COLOR] Replace "X" with the volume letter of the Windows OS partition.

BCDBoot copies the boot files from the Windows partition to the EFI System partition and creates the BCD store in the same partition.[/B]

This creates 1 partition that every OS has, called EFI Boot partition.
There is also the OEM Recovery Tools Partition.

EDIT:
Also, type this in command prompt
create partition msr

This creates the MSReserved Partition.

Sorry. :)
It says that MSR and EFI partitions are only supported on GPT disks.
Convert the selected disk to GPT and try again.

This is what is comes up with after I type in the first command you told me to.
