I am getting error 0xc0000185 on restart aspire E1-531-2621 WIN8. It's asking for install media that I don't have. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Eric

    Try restarting it with the power cord unplugged.

    a recent hardware or software change might be the cause. "to fix the problem"

     

    .1 insert your windows installation disk and restart your computer. ( i don't have one)

    .2 or contact your system adminastrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

    I saw where that worked for a couple people and figured why not.0xc0000185 is typically related to a hardware issue.

    It's not able to communicate with your HDD.Could be a bad HDD or a corrupted UEFI Partition.
