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:

Hope the information helps.

Please reply with the results, in order to help you fix the issue.

Wish u a Happy New Year!

Thank you

    I think I just posted the same or variant problem here:

    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows\_8-system/windows-update-is-sending-my-new-windows-8-pc-into/8f59a6bc-7f65-424b-8292-3bdba2e767d9

    I traced it back to a Windows Update since the PC worked fine with Windows Updates turned off completely from factory install.

    I did a list volume and it said there are no disks?

    See if it knows of some anyway:

    list  disk

    I wonder if you need to load a driver for your hard drive?   E.g. the equivalent of what used to be done by F6...

    Hmm...  no more F6 even in W7?   Some kind of boot menu option, maybe even other differences if UEFI is involved...

    Here's what I was thinking of (old technology):

    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-uS/winserversetup/thread/9e74dc0c-3be3-4d42-a531-ada9d5e771e6

    (Microsoft search for

        F6 boot "no disk drives"

    )

    Ah.   Here's a still relevant question in there:

    <quote>

    Can you see the hard drives in BIOS?

    </quote>

    All of this happened after your  bootrec  commands?   What device was it applied to?   And where did the command come from?

    Just in case it gives more clues try:    bcdedit

    HTH
