Windows 8 not booting - cannot automatic repair, refresh or reset.

[ZYS]

Hi.

I am having issues with my Sony VAIO Windows 8 laptop. My system froze, I shut it down and when i load it up, I get the VAIO sign, telling me it's preparing to automatic repair, then the blue screen which asks me if I would like to troubleshoot etc.

Nothing works: reset, repair, system restore, troubleshoot, refresh. You name it.

When I try to reset, I am told to insert my windows installation or recovery media to continue. I reset my PC a couple months back, didn't get any such message like this.

Only thing I can access is command prompt. Can I reset using this?


What to do? Please help

Yes, using the command prompt may fix your problem since it sounds like your boot files got corrupted.

Try this in the command prompt
Type in
Bootrec /fixmbr
Bootrec /fixboot
Bootrec /rebuildbcd

Reboot and see if this fixes it.
