Windows 8.1 stuck at booting screen

[Joongi Baek]

Hi. My pc is stuck on the booting screen forever. The issue has been lasting for 6 months and I wasnt able to access my computer. I tried making a recovery usb from my emergency pc. And I tried using refresh and reset windows. But it got stuck on the please wait screen. I tried using restore from a previous backup, but it freezed after I clicked something. I also tried chkdsk /r /x /f, but it also didnt work. I tried everything but it did not work either. I have a windows 8.1 serial key, but I dont have enough storage cd or a usb for that. This is quite serious, so please help me. I will be quite thankful. Thanks!

P.S. My laptop model is Vaio fit 15E.

sorry for my grammar.

If you disconnect the OS drive, does the PC post - load bios?

Your HDD/mobo could be damaged. Try to boot from a USB/CD. You can use the Win8 installation disk, for example. Or a Linux Live CD/USB. You just want to know if your PC can boot from something.

It stop on Loading screen and does nothing, like not even operating with HDD ?
Does it restart or it just stops on loading screen ?
Did you tried to boot into safe mode without networking, or boot with disabling Malware check ?
Did you reset your bios accidentally ?
Try to change Sata mode from bios, if its AHCI try with IDE or vice versa.

I installed linux.

And can you boot on linux?

 

[Joongi Baek]

Yes, I can.

I don't know how to format my hard drive. I cant disassemble it. Also, I get a black screen when I boot from a recovery usb. I tried making a windows 8.1 usb drive, but it does not boot. The animation moves, but will not boot.

If Linux used to boot from HDD but now it does not, you likely have an HDD problem.

Do a Checkdisk on your OS drive in another PC. Mount it as not the OS drive. Also use the manufacturer Diagnostic Software to check it eg Seagate - Seatools, WD - Lifeguard.
