Hi, I seem to be having quite the problem, I was having trouble with some drivers and no matter what I did it didn't seem to work, so I decided to just reset the system completely. after the reset I started downloading new drivers etc. onto my PC, but when I tried rebooting to finnish installations it went straight to automatic repairs, but of course these repairs didn't repair anything... now it won't boot into windows unless I do another reset, and when I do it can't be rebooted without hitting the same bump all over again...
also when resetting I never get the option too choose what OS I want installed as showed in this post...
I'm no expert when it comes to software, but I used the cmd command Chkdsk/f/r D: command (according to diskpart that's my bootdrive)... also tried chkdsk D: /f... as I said I'm no expert but it looked too me fram what I saw that it couldn't find an OS on my drive...

any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it? Do I need to get my USB with Windows 8.1 to reinstall and fix this or is there an easier way?
