Under the Boot Selection the only option other than what's selected here that allows you to still have GPT in Partition scheme is "Non bootable." I can't see anything regarding .iso; however all the other Boot Selections do allow for FAT32 as a File system, whereas the UEFI selection only allowed NTFS.

Take the disk or iso image regardless. I dont believe the FAT32 format will make a difference.

Open FRST as you did before.

Type the following in the edit box on FRST, after "Search:".

System;Software;SAM;Default

Click Search Files button and post the log (Search.txt) it makes on the USB drive in your next reply.

At the RE command prompt type the following and press enter after each line.

Diskpart
Select disk 0 (that is disk zero)
List vol

Take a screenshot of that window. Seems that the OS partition lost its format.

Bad news. The OS partiton has become RAW, meaning it lost its format. All data in the drive is lost.

Since the recovery partition still healthy, try to perform full factory recovery and let me know the outcome.

Ok. So after selecting Troubleshoot it lead me here (it said you could reset from that but these are the only options now) Not sure if there's another way to reset or not.

CEF, do not boot with the Bootable Media. Lets try ACER process.

 

Restart the computer.

  • When the Acer logo appears on the screen, press the left Alt, and the F10 keys.
  • If you are prompted with a Microsoft Windows boot screen, press the Enter key.
  • After the Acer eRecovery Management application has loaded, select your restore type.
  • Read the notice, and then click Next when you are ready.
  • Click Next to begin the restore process. The restore can take anywhere from 10 minutes up to an hour.
  • Once the restore is complete your computer will load Windows and start installing your drivers and software. Your computer may reboot several times during this process. After everything is complete your computer will be like it was when you first purchased it.

If that does not work, boot with the Bootable Media and Reach the command prompt. At the prompt type the following and press Enter:

 

Diskpart

Select Disk 0

List vol

Select Vol 2       (This is the volume that has the Y drive and is RAW)

Format fs=NTFS Label=OS QUICK

EXIT

Dir D :\Sources\*.* /s (Letter D appears as the bootable media)

 

Send me a screenshot of that window.
