Hi,
It seems that you may delete the wrong disk, to check this, I suggest to see the disk status in the WinRE environment with the command listed in the post,
If this partitions or disks remain the same, I suggest to use Bootrec.exe in the Windows RE to troubleshoot startup issues:
To run the Bootrec.exe tool, first start the Windows RE:
1.Put the Windows 8.1 or Windows 8 media in the DVD drive, and then start the computer.
2.Press a key when you are prompted.
3.Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard, or an input method, and then click Next.
4.Click Repair your computer.
5.Select the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
6.In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
7.Type Bootrec.exe, and then press Enter.

The machine boots fine. There is no need for the bootrec tool. Unless the bootrec tool does something else as set the boot record.Saturday, July 26, 2014 3:02 PM
