I bought my dell laptop just last year of September and working in optimal condition. Just had a factory image restore just 1
month ago and only installed very few softwares so i can only guess that below is the only cause of the problem...
Origin of the Problem: (system image restore failed mid way which ruined my OS Win 8.1)
"the system image restore failed. Error details: The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Please make sure that all
required file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted. (0x800703ED)"
Problem:
Dell laptop can't get past start-up and goes on "Attempting repairs" for a long time without success
afterwards it says "Automatic Repair couldn't repair your PC"
which gives me only two choices: to either shutdown or use advanced options
I tried all the advanced options below MULTIPLE TIMES:
1. tried turning if off and on hoping that automatic repairs might work
2. Used a external recovery device (I had a bootable USB [Factory Image Backup] and A DVD with Apps and Drivers Backup) showing
error 0x400110020000100A everytime
3. Tried System Image Recovery but also shows error 0x400110020000100A
4. Tried System Restore but say's no restore point have been created (I think the previous mid way failure of the system image
restore attempt corrupted drive C: (OS).
I tried for the Dell Technical Support but gives me

I wan't to try the phone but due to circumstances can't do it for now
Please can an expert help me in this? I browsed the net and found that I can order/Ask for a windows 8.1 DVD OS installer, is that possible? thanks in advance
