I have seen two computers, one a Acer, the one right now is an HP whose boot has been screwed. The owners failed to make a recovery disk. No matter what Fkey I press I can not get to the recovery partition. Well the HP I am currently working on did drop into the recovery partition once. I choose to completely replace the OS, back to factory, it started and I went home fully expecting to have a workable PC when I got back. Well I was wrong, nothing changed. I tried booting from a 8.1 disk I downloaded from Microsoft. The repair option there failed me as well so I dropped to a command prompt and ran some bootrec repair options so now I get a "no boot disk has been detected" message. This SUCKS! If I cannot boot any windows 8, 8.1, even 7 I cannot run the utility to get the product key from the EUFI CMOS.
I did read the system32/logfile/srt txt file after trying to repair it with the Microsoft 8.1 DVD. It had an error that I was using the wrong VERSION disk. How the hell do I know what VERSION I need?
I HATE 8!
