Winload.efi Error, Windows 8

Hey figured I'd give this a shot, I have an ASUS Laptop that suddenly is giving me an error at startup saying failed to load winload.efi

I've read online that it can be fixed with a repair disc..


which I don't have..


600$ laptop..


where can i obtain the files that is legit? i can put them on a USB and use that to repair, right?

help is appreciated, ty!

 

What version of windows?

 

It's windows 8

 

Download a bootable Windows 8(.1) Disc.

Follow the instructions found here to download/create repair media.

 

@FlowBotics did my previous post help?

 

Unfortunately no, from what i read on there i need a key of some sort in order to DL the files from the microsoft site which I do not have currently

 

Then you'll need to torrent a copy of Windows 8 to use to repair.
