Hi. Sorry if it's the wrong category, not really sure where to post it. Anyways, long story short. Last night I upgraded my windows 8 to windows 8.1, after that everything was screwed. I lost bunch of stuff, laptop slowed down and all that nasty stuff, so I decided to install a new windows from scratch. I did, but then turns out I still have some of the old folders because I didn't clean the hard drive first. Ok I said, I'll do it one more time, so I went in the bios tried whatever I knew about it (which is little, may I say) so I can boot my damn dvd with windows on. As always didn't work, so instead of looking for more info, being the idiot that I am. I went straight into the command prompt and cleaned my hard drive, now everything plus the operating system is gone and I'm stuck in bios which is missing bunch of stuff. Well, thats about it. It'll be great if you guys can help
P.S my username is well deserved
