Acer Aspire M5-581T Boot Configuration Data file missing

I keep getting a blue screen titled Recovery whenever I turn my computer on. It also says BCD error code 0xc000000d. It gives me the option to press escape for UEFI Firmware Settings and I don't know what that is but nothing happens when I press escape.
This error showed up randomly today. I haven't deleted anything on my computer or anything since the last time it worked. I turned the laptop on this morning and it worked but it's said that I didn't have any wifi connections available, which it does sometimes, so I turned it off and back on as I usually do, but this time, the blue screen came on. No discs came with the laptop aside from blank m-disks and I don't have a windows 8 installation disk since windows 8 came installed on the laptop already. I called windows and they said they couldn't do anything to help me. Most fixes that I have seen require the windows 8 installation disc. Please help asap. I'm in the middle of a winter class session and don't have access to another computer. I also can not afford to take it anywhere to be fixed. There must be some type of fix since I haven't done anything unusual to my computer.

Can you try to put HDD0 as first device and try to boot or press F12 at boot and choose HDD0 instead of windows boot manager

Cdemease

After moving HDD0 to first, windows boot manager is my only choice.

your BCD issue is really worse than i expected, it looks like a virus or something that deleted the BCD and BCD backup, also it can recreate one.

as last change:

https://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/

scroll down to the free version and click to register

on a working PC, install that software and select the option to create a bootable device, then use this bootable device to your PC and try to fix BCD.

if this doesn't work too, i suggest you to backup all your data if you can access.

try to burn an USB or CD with Hiren's boot cd .iso:

http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/

unzip the file and burn the iso file.

then boot from USB or CD that you burnt, select mini xp and once in the desktop try to recover your files from the C: partition.

then i suggest you to buy the recovery media from Acer shop, wipe completly your HDD and re-install from scratch:

Acer recovery media
