I have a Windows 8.1 64bit on my PC. The problem started with getting this message at boot:
Preparing automatic repair...
After that, nothing but a blank screen.
I decided to boot using a bootable DVD. So, I made one (using Microsoft Windows 7 USB DVD Tool) and boot with it.
Now, here's the problem, when booting from DVD (the same with flash) it goes to the recovery screen with this message:
Recovery
Your PC needs to be repaired
The operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.
File: BOOTVID.dll
Error Code: 0xc0000098
At this point, the only option I have is to click F8 for startup options. But no matter what option I choose (safe mode, ...), I goes back again to the recovery screen and the same story!
As a side note, the above scenario is when the boot option is set UEFI in BIOS. When Legacy mode is selected, after the loading screen of bootable DVD/flash, only a blank screen is shown. So, I can't use that either.
Anyone has any ideas what's going on and how can I fix this?
