I had the original drive stored and multiple backups and several older disk images so I could continue to work from another disk while trying to repair this one when I wasn't working.ĮasyRecovery Essential for Windows 8 repaired the Boot issues after one pass - when booted from the Bootable CD you can make from the ISO DVD/CD Image download.
I tried just about everything else, including Windows 8 Auto and Command Line Repairs, DISKPART fixes, Repair BCD fixes and the other usual recovery routines without any success.
After several years of hard “on the road” use, due to repeated power issues when the battery catch broke and loosened the battery, the Boot Record was eventually corrupted and the system (C) drive would not boot despite the fact the boot drive is an SSD (destruction of the boot loader/sector is a fairly common Windows 8 scenario). I have a HP Envy DV7 Laptop With Windows 8 installed, upgraded to 8.1 then 8.1 Pro on a good quality Samsung EVO SSD Drive (upgrade from a traditional Hard Disk Drive).
