Good! Let's try the following then. You would have to boot into your BIOS settings to see if you have Secure Boot enabled. We'll ignore that for the moment. Do you know how to boot from a USB drive? You have to change the BIOS settings to allow the 1st boot device to be the USB. Please let me know if you get stuck at any step. Thank you.
Prepare USB Drive
1. Plug in your USB drive. It should be assigned a drive letter.
2.
Right-click on your drive letter and select
Format. Select
FAT32 as the File System,
Win8RE as the label and
Quick Format as shown below. Click
Start to do the format.

3. Download the Windows 8 Recovery Files from
here and save to your
desktop.
4.
Right-click on the downloaded file (Win8RE.zip) and select
Extract All... Ensure the checkbox "
Show extracted files when complete" is checked and click the
Extract button.
5. You will now have a folder named Win8RE. Open this folder and you will see three folders and two files. Please copy all of this information to your newly formatted USB drive.
Boot Using your USB drive
1. Ensure your USB drive is plugged in.
2. Ensure your BIOS is configured to allow booting form USB. There are variations on how to do this depending on what machine you have however a couple links that show the general steps can be found
here and
here.
3. Boot your machine using the Windows 8 Recovery from the USB and you will be prompted to pick a keyboard layout. Go ahead and do.
4. You will be brought up to the Choose an option screen. Click on
Troubleshoot.
5. Click
Advanced Options
6. Click
Command Prompt. Your computer will reboot into the Command Prompt. You may be prompted to select your username and type your password. Please do.
7. If all goes well you will be at a Command Prompt that looks like the following.
8. Now type
chkdsk c: /R and hit enter. You should see chkdsk starting to run as follows.
9. When it finishes, I would like you to
copy the contents of the command-prompt window and
paste it into your next reply. To do this you can
click on the
control box in the upper left corner of the command-prompt window, choose
Edit...Select All. Then you can open up notepad by typing notepad.exe in the command-prompt and hitting enter. Then you can paste the info into the notepad window and save this to your USB drive. Please post this info in your next post.
