I just recently completely cleaned my pc to original settings, then when I tried to boot it Windows will not boot. I so far have tried everything, Created a recovery disk from external hdd for windows 8 before I did this and all it showed was "Windows 8 Volume 5" and would not boot, I tried the command prompt with bootrec /fixmbr bootrec /fixboot, tried to refresh pc, and tried automatic repair. Then on top of it all the last time i messed with it there was a black screen saying that there was no internal drive. Does anyone know what my otions are?:confused:
 
Check the bios to make sure the hard drive is detected. Also you may need to run a drive diagnostic on the hard drive to check for errors.
 
Yea it said it detected it the whole time until the last time. So I made sure it was seated correctly and it was. But I still cannot boot into Windows though.
 
Then you would have to run. Western digital drive diagnostic on it. Run the extended test.
