hello, i bought a new MSI apache GE60 one or two weeks ago and i opened it up this morning and it had a blue screen that said

"The boot configuration Data for your pc is missing or contains errors.
file: \EFI\MICROSOFT\BOOT\BCD
Error code: 0xc0000185

I've looked on the internet already and it said i need to use my windows installation media but i got this computer with windows 8.1 pre-installed. it said i could also make sure the hard drive is connected properly but i can't open the computer up because it is a laptop and it might break the warranty sticker.

any help would be very much appreciated

"borrow" a windows 8.1 dvd from a friend - use the repair function after you boot from the dvd. It should fix problems automatically.

You might find a windows 8.1 startup/repair disk on Microsoft's website but thats a bit more complicated than the first option.

i can't get to that because i can't open the computer all i can do is look at that blue screen or go into the UEFI firmware settings
