    I just got my MSI Ge60 Apache pro yesterday and samsung 840 evo msata. I popped in the the msata and booted the computer. Everything worked fine, except for the fact that I wanted it to boot off the SSD. I tried cloning the C drive to the SSD and thats when things got sketchy and windows 8.1 tried to run things off the SSd? Regardless, I reformatted the SSD and initiated the windows restore to factory process. That completed 100%.

    Went to boot and it says the boot config file is missing or corrupted or something. I kinda got a windows 8.1 disk I think and tried doing all the fix boot and fixmbr and its still not working

    So now what?
