I think I have a multitude of issues going on so I'm kinda scatter brained and new to the world of forums so bare with me. SO!, I dont even know where to start. First off the machine im using is a ASUS K55N Db81, Hiachi 444gb hard drive AMD A8 Trinity Atipio 8gb RAM running Windows 8.1 but came with Windows 8. I first had problems with potential malware/spyware/virus's. well at least thats what someone in another forum adviced me, he had guidied me through the removal process and said i was all clean. Shortly after i upgraded from win 8 to win 8.1. since i did the update i was unable to use system restore, system refresh ,and the factory reset option. I had read this can be due to errors on my hARDdrive or corrupt files. So I ended up rebooting into recovery mode and using command prompt i did a chkdsk , it asked to dismount drive and i was told to type Yes. The chkdsk did find errors on the upper file case and it repaired the drive i did this for bolth my C: drive and X: drive CDROM. bolth had errors and bolth came back clean. Since then i cant boot into windows , i have tried ( bootrec /fixmbr } { bootrec /fixboot} bootrec /rebuildbcd} when it scans for windows installations it says finds 0? long story short i had a Kapersky Recovery Disk and it allowed me to boot into the Rescue Disk mode . It also found infections that the previous software( malwarebytes/ESET online scan/Mcafee/and Kapersky internet Protection) Did not! Find. Now that im able to see files due to the Kav-Rescue -Disk ,im able to peek at some diff logs, and could use some help with what to do next. I attached a log of my current disk layout below. thanks

Hello Kman4488,

Shortly after i upgraded from win 8 to win 8.1. since i did the update i was unable to use system restore, system refresh ,and the factory reset option.


I don't think that the current issue is malware related.

When I look back on the malware issue you reported, the logs there show clean when you left and you said your machine was stable.

The most likely cause was some issue with your Win 8 to Win 8.1 update.

You really need technical help for this.

I will transfer this topic to the Windows 8 Operating System forum. Hopefully someone there will be able to put some light on the matter for you.

One of my colleagues suggests this:

Use the refresh option from the CD (or recovery console) and you will go back to a vanilla 8 http://windows.micro...efresh-reset-pc


Maybe you could try that. :)
