I was given a laptop to take a look at with hopes I could fix it. However I'm running into issues, and for some reason I can't figure out next steps.
When the computer boots, it goes right to the screen saying 'PC needs to be repaired, with error code error code 0xc0000225
however, when I push F8 the screen just flashes back, It won't boot to disk at all, and won't let me do anything, just keeps popping that screen back up. So before I pull the HD to back up the stuff on it, I'd like to know if there is any possible way I can get in it to at least try to repair it. My initial plan was to rebuild the MBR, but I can't even get past that screen.
In researching, and in past experience, Windows 8 and 8.1 are supposed to automatically go to start up repair options. This is also not happening.
Help please...
