After about 10 reboots, I just rebooted into Normal mode, even though I had received the above error message when I checked the box for normal bootup. Thus, the problem went away. I will now be very reluctant to use Safe Mode in Windows 8.1.

I'm running Windows 8.1x64. I booted to safe mode today by changing the boot options in msconfig.exe. Now, msconfig won't let me change back to Normal startup, and I'm stuck in safe mode. When I check the Normal Startup box under the General Tab in msconfig and hit OK, I receive this message...

I ran diskpart and set the hard drive to inactive. From the diskpart list, I noticed that drive letter D: had been assigned to a DVD drive, so I reset the drive letters in Disk Management. I also deleted the volume name "System Reserved" from the hard drive from Properties in Disk Management...

Thanks for the advice. I connected the SSD to the first SATA port. However, I was unable to make it Disk0 in the BIOS because I have an Asus Z77 motherboard that automates hard disk detection and does not show the storage drives in BIOS screens. I disconnected the hard drive, booted from the...

When I installed Windows 8, it recognized a hard drive as Disk 0 and my SSD as Disk 1. I didn't know that it was important to put the system files on Disk 0, with the System Reserved partition, and installed Windows on the SSD. After installation, I saw that the hard drive had a System Reserved...
