Earlier I was trying to create a bootable windows xp pendrive (using wintoflash) and cancelled in halfway because it took over 1hr already. Then after that the pendrive is not detected anymore so I googled for quite some time and stumbled upon a software called easus partition. The drives listed were: C(OS) - contains my windows, D(Files) - contains my games and other personal apps, and 2 blank drives - 1 is 900mb and the other is 100mb. I assumed this is my pendrive since it's also 1GB. I deleted the 100mb then the 900mb. A new drive with 1GB showed up. I created a partition on this and I was really happy. OMG, upon rebooting I am already stuck in BIOS. Restarting will only show "ASUS - in search of incredible" then back to BIOS. I don't know what to do! I am working as a Info System analyst and I really need my laptop ASAP. :(
In BIOS I don't have that much options to look around. There's a flash utility but it only shows all my drives and folders but not files. There's boot priority but I need to create a boot priority and point out the EFI file. Tried pointing out to boot in system restore but it's an invalid file. Please. Any help? My laptop is 2months old, spent almost 3months of salary on this and I've settled my games and files already.
 
That 100MB partition was the boot partition without which the system wont boot. You will need the recovery media for your laptop (it propably didn't come with one so you need to order it from the manufacturer), other option is to try to get your hands on a Windows 8(.1) install media and boot from that to try to recover the system.

I found this solution where i will generate recovery media from another windows 8 laptop and use the flashdrive on my laptop. Then enter command prompt and try to repair the bootsec or whatever it's called. I'll try this when i get home later. Sadly I don't have windows 8.1 installation disc because when i bought this laptop It doesn't come with any discs or drivers.
 


Yeah, don't think any computers come with the media anymore. They just have instructions how to create it.
