  Hi Blessed,

  Have you got an installation media ?

  If we haven`t got one ,we can made one referring to the following link :
  Create installation media for Windows 8.1
  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-HK/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

  We can boot from the installation media and then choose the repair mode during the  “install now “ screen .And choose the “Startup repair” option in the Windows Repair Environment .

  If the automatic repair will not work ,choose the command line mode and take the following steps to have a check.
  Type diskpart
  Type select disk 0
  Type list partition
  then note the partition number where you installed windows 8.1.
  Type select partition X   (X is the partition number where Windows is installed)
  type active
  type exit
  type bcdboot c:\windows  (if C is your windows partition)

  Here is a link for reference of this method (Juke Chou`s answer):
  BCDboot "Failure when attempting to copy boot files" (This method should also be applied to Windows 8.1 )

  Best regards
