Hello Gecko. Thank you for response. Yes, I have genuine win8 upgrade installation disc.
On bootup blue screen says 'Recovery, PC couldn't start properly. after multiple tries the OS on PC failed to start.
so it needs to be repaired. error code 0xc0000001'.
Selecting repair from disc offers alternatives. Safe mode does not enter os. Only command prompt is available but beyond my knowledge to try, not even sure if will acess anything, hence my reason for seeking assistance. Safe mode reboots into blue screen. When I try again to enter windows blue screen again suggests lookup error code 0xc0000218. Hence OP heading. That is my understanding: media file problem deteriorated into hard binary lock.
also older image file is not accessible, not recognised for some reason when I try.
Thank you again.
