I have a 1 year old Gateway desktop with Windows 8.1 installed at the factory so I have no Install disk. My problem began when the computer went into a repair/recovery loop which I found out is a common unresolved bug for Windows 8.1. After hours and hours of internet search and trial and error I was able to get the repair loop resolved by going into command prompt and typing "bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled No}". I then tried rebooting and the Recovery page came up stating:

Your PC needs to be repaired.

The operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.

File: NETIO.SYS

Error code: 0xc000000f

When I tried all of the options to address this problem none of them worked. I can't even boot into safe mode. Any suggestions? 

If you have access to another Windows 8.1 device , try create recovery boot:

Most of OEM PC manufactured must be remind you regarding creating recovery disc during first setup

I suggest you contact manufactured regarding this issue

Hi Boomer3s,

Can we boot into the Windows Recovery Environment now (Restart and keep pressing "Shift")?
If the Windows Recovery Environment is not available ,we can choose to boot from a installation media .We can make a Windows 8.1 installation media here.

Create installation media for Windows 8.1
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-HK/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

a)      Insert the installation DVD or USB and boot Windows 8.1 from it.
b)      In the Windows setup page select the Language to install, Time and currency format and the keyboard or input method and click on next.
c)       Click on Repair your computer and select Troubleshoot. 
d)      Click on Advanced options and select Automatic Repair and select the operating system.Or the "System restore option "

Hope this helps

Best regards
