Hi, I have a vaio SVS151290s with windows 8 preinstalled.

I partitioned the hard drive with easeUS partition master when it reset it refuesed to boot, I was finally able to get it to boot by following some bcd commands i saw in the forum.

windows seems to be running fine but i cant seem to create a rescue disk it says "partition is not found" I have tried resetting the install also and it also says partition is not found.

I can still see both the RE tools and the recovery drive in my notebook and it seems that the files are still there

I was hoping someone could help me reset my win 8 install

Welcome to EightForums.

You have a uEFI, Secure Boot, gpt setup.
easeUS partition master does not support uEFI, Secure Boot, gpt setup.

You may need to reinstall.
