    I just got this comp, it was acting funny when I installed Windows 8 so I selected the option to remove everything and chose a clean install(reset).

    It gave me this error, and since then I have not been able to make any progress reinstalling Windows 8.

    "Some files are missing ! Your Windows media recovery disc will provide you with these"

    I don't have a install CD this came from the 14.99 upgrade offer VIA Windows upgrade tool downloader.

    I tried booting from a USB (222) tried recovery. I don't know how to get reset/refresh PC to work so I can get clean install. This is getting problematic a I have never had this problem before.
