A couple of days ago i bought an HP desktop pc(HP ENVY h8-1485ea).
Which has windows 8 pre installed by HP.
It is i7, 16gb ram and has 2 hdd. One which is a western digital 3TB and the second one was a scan disk 16 gb drive and labelled as recovery.
So i wanted to partition the big 3TB DRIVE. To 200gb for the c: drive and the rest for my storage.
I used easus to partition the drives, "i used an older version which supports windows 7, and didn't download the one which supports windows 8", cos honestly I thought that it would work properly in win 8 and was not aware that window 8 has a different boot system.
The easus partition manager is a partition manager, that I have to configure from windows and setup my desired size of requirement, and the software would reboot and start partitioning before entering windows by showing the progress. And I have done this many times for windows xp and 7, but never for win 8.
So the easus software was progressing until 10% by rebooting and partitioning, and suddenly I received a blue screen with a sad face icon :( and below was text saying that there was an error on the windows/system32/.
I am very sure that message is from the windows 8 and not the easus program.
Now when I turn on the pc, it takes me to the recovery window and gives me three options.
1. Press ENTER. To try again
2.***I need to see the option again after I reach the pc
3. Press ESC to enter UEFI settings.
Only the 3rd was responsive, the other two options did not do any thing except just would flash for a second and show the same screen with the above options.
But when I select the third option it takes me to a new window and there are options for setting boot order, recovery option, and other tools to view the hardware info.
When I select the recovery option, it would show a blue blank screen and after about 30seconds the computer would shut down.
And there is also another option named RUN UEFI APPLICATION, And after selection that in shows a small blue window and it is labelled as FILE BROWSER, and it only displays a single hdd, and it had a name as (HDD: ST3000DM001-9YN166).
I did google it, and found out that its the 3TB Hdd
After going in it, it had three folders, diagnostic, boot, HP. all the folders had a single file, but when I selected any of those files, the blank blue screen would appear and after 30 seconds the computer will shut-down.
So what I trying to do is to use the recovery that originally came with HP to set it back to its factory windows and settings.
Thanks in advance
