Okay guys,
I did something stupid. But first the back story. I installed Ubuntu 13.04 on my Win 8 Pre-loaded system as dual boot. At this point I could no longer boot Windows 8. I tried using boot-repair, but it did not work. I have basically tried everything I could think of or get off the net. As a last ditch effort, I very stupidly tried deleting all the boot options in UEFI in hopes that it would force UEFI to scan the disks. Now UEFI will not load. When I turn on my system, I see that it tries to read the CD drive, but I get no display. I also tried to hold F9 at boot as recomended by ASUS. No-go.
The last option that I could come up with is to put the disk in another computer and copy the UEFI files from the recovery partition to the UEFI partition, and THEN try booting
I have also tried removing the laptop battery and holding CTRL+HOME and pressing power with both USB and CD containing the BIOS/UEFI re-named N76VJ.BIN in both root folder and EFI/ASUS/ This caused the HDD light to light and the keyboard took longer to light up so I'm assuming it did something, however this still did not fix the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
