This is the second time my windoze O/S failed to start up, and decided “fix” itself. Except in “fixing” it self, it apparently must have ran some NTFS file check tool which “fixed” the filesystem by wiping out the filesystem…
So now I have a dead system…
So I tried to reinstall windoze 8. But can’t because obviously the windoze 8 I have is an upgrade key from a previous version, for which I no longer have the install disks for…
I called tech support ,and basically they told me I was SOL and had to buy a new license key to allow me to do a fresh install…even though I explained them “I had a previous version of windoze until I upgraded and the upgrade crapped out..”
Someone suggested I should first install windows 8 without entering a license key. And then run the upgrade from windows 8 to windows 8, entering the license key thereafter to see if that works….
