JenFryreyesonly sound s to me like your computer cannot access the recovery partition. Since you can access the BIOS I would proceed as follows. Get a copy of a Live Linux program. I do use Puppy Linux since I can fit it on a USB stick. Set the BIOS to use the USB drive as the first bootable drive. If and when your computer boots into Puppy Linux you can then use that to try and access your drive and see if your partition for the operating system (Win 8?) is still accessible. If it is not you will have to obtain a Win 8 OS install disk.
