I am trying to run a reset in Windows 8. However, after rebooting into WinRE, it says that it can't reset because I am missing a required partition.
I searched for a solution to this problem. But, it looks like most people who see this error have accidentally deleted some Windows partitions. In my case, I have not altered the Windows partitions since original install.
I read another comment that suggested that it's due to the hd driver being missing and that I would have to "inject" the correct driver into winre. But, I'm not sure how to do that (or if that is really the fix).
Anyone else run into this and find a solution?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can do a regular re-install. But, then I will end up on hold with Microsoft getting them to activate it. Would rather learn how to make reset work.
