Hello.
Yesterday night when i came home from work, i turn on my laptop with windows 8.1 and its started loading "pc repair", after it finished i get a message saying it could not repair automaticly.
So i have tried advanced-restore point, it just failed.
Tried cmd- sfc /scannow, and i get a message saying windows is in another repair process and i need to reboot and try again.i rebooted and tried again. But it goes to repair pc again.and so on.
Trying refresh pc - getting insert media. no original media because i have purchased it online. So i used win 8 bootable thumb drive i made. But it didnt recognized it.(the thumb drive does bootable, I have checked).
Have tried chkdsk. But i get a message drive locked.
So i have rebooted using the win 8 usb thumb drive.
Have tried chckdsk / r /v /f / x on th windows drive(located it as f: this time)
No help there.
Tried safe mode menu, but after i choosing safe mode it goes back to pc repair.

I didnt installed any new drivers and i have windows update settings to install updates manually.
I have two drives in my laptop(thinkpad w500).windows drive is ssd ocz vertex 2, and the second is regular hdd in a caddy instead optical drive.
*i have disabled all defragmenting and indexing on the ssd.
I have tried removing the sad and reinsert it making sure it's connected firmly.

Is there a way recover my pc without refreshing and loosing the entire windows setup?
I have read somewhere that win 8.1 lost or removed pe environment. And this why it cant recover.
How do i get a recovery partition back?
Any suggestions?
:(



*Edit.
Tried hdd diagnostic in bios on the main sad drive.and i get controller error 0000 read verification failed.

*Edit 2.
Looking at srttrail.txt log file, the last check says:
"Registry is corrupt"
"And solution is system restore".
But it failed and it has error code: 0x1f.

*Edit 3
I created a recovery disc with another machine, no help there either.

I have connected the ssd drive to another machine, and I have copied all the content from it, made error check on the drive, it came out without any problems.
It's fully accessible.

*edit 4
Tried doing reset your PC and I get the following: "unable to reset Your PC.a required drive partition is missing.

Thanks.

Well.the dowload trick of 8.1 with 8 serial works, but i couldn't repair my windows.
I have Decied to do make a clean install of windows 8 and restore an old image i have.
8.1 is always giving me issues. Windows 8 NEVER gave me a issue.so I'll stick with the moto " if it ain't broken. Dont fix it "
Thatks for the help.
