Hello guys,
Sorry if posted it in wrong section.
A very complicated issue with my dual boot system.
I had a dual boot machine with Windows 8 and Linux Mint 17.
I formatted the partition containing linux and used the unallocated space. It required a reboot to complete the task ( I used Easeus Partition Manager). But while rebooting i forgot to fix the mbr to remove my grub and load windows boot manager. I was right. I was getting an error that grub was not found. So i used windows 7 repair disk (yes windows 7 as i don't have windows 8 repair disk or installation disk) to fix my mbr. I successfully fixed it and rebooted my pc. Easeus did its job (it moved my windows partition and extended my secondary storage partition). But after this when i rebooted my pc, i got a black screen with a movable mouse cursor "after entering password". I can do nothing only press ctrl+alt+del. when i press task manager from the list, nothing happens. I am stuck. Please help.

Note:It would be difficult to get my hands on a windows 8 repair disk or installation disk.
Thanks in advanced.

Note: When i fixed the mbr and let easeus do its work, after rebooting i had noticed that login background image and my account's profile pictures have changed to default pictures which one would get in a newly installed windows 8. I thought that this little point may help.

Thanks in advanced.
