Ok, so im screwed.

My windows 8 OS just crashed for the umteenth time. Stuck on the loading screen, for about 30 mins, than it goes to a black flashuing screen. I reboot like 3 times trying to get into the repair mode, and it just does the same exact thing. I cannot get into repair/safe/or regular mode of windows 8.

I have a usb installer of windows 8 which i have been using to install windows 8. but when I try to boot from that I get a error, you need to repair your computer, file/boot/bcd error code 00xc0000098 (or something similar).

My only computer access is at the library with a 10kbps dl speed, so re-downloading a iso and putting it on the usb drive is not an option since it would take 3 days and I only have 1 hour a day limit here.

are there any good repair programs that are small that i can load up and do a system restore, so I can download windows 7 or 8 again and remake my usb drive. I just need to get on the pc to make a new bootable windows installer on my USB drive.

These are all my options, I do not have a repair disc or any other backups.

The first link wont work, since I dont get that far, when I boot form usb. It jsut gives me a blue screen saying you need to repair your pc and gives me that error. Only thing I can do is press Ctrl alt Dlt and reboot lol.

Just relized, I cant run anything as an admin at the library to making a new bootable disc from here wont work either.

if the bcd is corrupt, would i be able to have someone upload there bcd from there usb drive or w/e obviously same version, than swap em out and boot?

edit:

btw this error only happens on my usb drive. My pc just doesnt boot period. Ideally I need a small program that would let my pc use a earlier restore point..
