If you use media you will lose your data. If you remove the HDD and connect it to another computer via USB, you can save all your data to it or another external drive. I don't know what your model is, but my V5 recovery has an option to recover personal files and programs from a clone of the O/S.

Thanks. I have a good backup. It is just time consuming to have to once again restore it all. Is there no way to repair bcd without a full restore??? Why does it keep happening0

You could sign up at Technet and download a 90 day evaluation of windows 7, 8, or 8.1 and boot from it and use the repair options.

If it repairs the problem, no. What was the error code? 0xc0000225?

I would suggest you to rebuild the BCD (Boot Configuration Data) from Command prompt and check if that helps.
1. Insert the Windows 8.x installation/recovery media and boot the computer using the disc.
if you don't have a installation/recovery media:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media
Note: You need to check the computer manual on how to set CD/DVD drive as the first boot device in the BIOS.
2. Once you boot using the Windows installation disc, on the Windows 8.x installation window, click on Repair your computer.
3. Click on Troubleshoot and in the Advanced options. First thing you may try is the Automatic Repair. If that does not help, go for System restore. If that works fine, then create a system restore point so that next time you encounter any problems you may always restore the computer to the recent system restore point created.
4. If that does not help, then select Command Prompt. Enter the following four commands into the prompt.
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd
Once the command completes, restart the computer.I'm not an Acer employee.0
