From my previous thread below i have the same original issue on my desktop that I posted about on my laptop which was solved..Now I know how to fix the issue and get it working again on my desktop but I can't boot into Windows 8.1 at all or even safe mode..I have tried startup repair etc etc ....I also tried the bcdedit trick to boot directly into Safe mode with the command prompt option no dice either..I would rather not do a refresh or reset pc..Matter of fact I have tried both options and even with a clean 8.1 disk I can't ....It gives me the error message remove cd or media and restart no matter whether i have the disk on or not..Any other options here ? i think it might be a problem with the boot or something or its booting to the wrong device perhaps a USB ? i do have bitlocker on the drives if that helps at all and when i got to do a startup repair it asks for my key and i obv have it on other media which is my usb which won't read the key from it anymore..I enter it manually....
