I have an Acer W500 that has Win8 RP installed on it. A couple of days ago I tried to get into the BIOS to check if I could enable the tablet to power on automatically when plugging in the AC power. The only way to get into the BIOS with Win8 installed was to turn of the Fast Boot feature.
After doing that, I was able to get into the BIOS. The tablet did not have the feature I was looking for so I restarted the tablet. This is when I encountered the "BOOTMGR image is corrupt. The system cannot boot." message for the first time.
I was finally able to get back into windows and I foolishly turned on Fast Boot again. Now I am continuously getting the "BOOTMGR image is corrupt..." message. I have rebooted 20+ times now, and I am getting the same message.
I then tried to install Win8 RTM, but now I cannot get it to boot from the USB. I also cannot get into the BIOS to change the boot order.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can solve this?
Thanks!
Edit: Seems like the Kingston 64GB SSD that I upgraded in the tablet was causing the problem. Running the factory recovery disks on both the original SSD and the Kingston, showed that the Kingston was still having a problem, but the original had no problems. Guess I will have to RMA the Kingston SSD.
