I have a custom build pc with windows 8.1 installed. I still have the disk. I get a blue screen every time I start it. I've been given two error codes: the more general 0xc000021a and a specific 0x4005 "boot critical file corrupt". I've spent the greater part of the entire day troubleshooting and I've gone nowhere. It wont boot in safemode and the closest thing I can get to is using the command prompt. In combination with google I tried everything that worked for other people with similar errors and nothing. After long hours of failure, I attempted to a system recovery. It will not let me roll back to any of the 5 recovery points because I need to enable some sort of system protection on C:\. I tried to enable this via command prompt and google help and nothing worked for me that worked for other people. It seems like everything that was on C:\ was pushed to D:\ for some reason (chkdk/f d: and dir d: verified that). I also don't have a system image to recover to. After I tried to do a full system recovery. It tells me to load up the corresponding media and I put in my windows 8.1 disk that specifically states it is for recovery etc. I'm then told the media isn't valid. So then I decide to just reinstall windows with the disk. Well I've lost my product code, so that is out of the question.
Shortened Version: I cant boot at all, even in safe mode, but I have a recovery point set for two days ago. As long as I can enable the system protection on C:\ or whatever I can rollback. However I can only use the command prompt.
Any help would be appreciated.
