Hello Coonut,

Thank you for your reply,

I would suggest you to login to any other computer and create a Windows 8 installation disk. Using that disk you can perform the troubleshooting methods given below.

Refer the link to create the installation disk:

Wish u a Happy New Year!

Thank you

    This seems to be the most useful post so far. But for someone who has just windows 8 installed, how exactly can this be applied?

    Put simply it can't UNLESS you have Windows 7 installed on another SEPARATE hard drive, if you don't then you can still do what I posted BUT you must disconnect the inaccessible drive first!

    Once you've done that connect an empty hard disk drive to your computer and install Windows 7 on that, once you've done that and Windows 7 is up and running power off your computer and reconnect the inaccessible drive and make sure your booting from the Windows 7 hard disk drive! You may have to select boot options when you start your computer and choose that hard disk (typically by pressing F12, on my Gigabyte motherboard that's what you press anyway) then do everything I said to do TO THE LETTER!

    This is only for people who have the aforementioned problem though NOT you as you don't YET..

    Cheers.
