Hello. Thanks for the reply. Kindly note that i already removed the HDD. I wanted to know if there is other solution to this problem or I just need to replace the HDD by a new one? And if so, will it clear the problem? Thanks again

You should not post info about your system, such as a Service Tag, please remove.

Are you still running Windows 7 on that system?  The recovery options are different for a particular OS.

I am trying to remember how Win 8 works but it was the first version of the automatic recovery options.  I did a test once and deleted the BCD store to see what would happen.  I got the same message about not being able to repair but I saw a cancel button and clicked on it and the system restarted normally.  The repair had done its job but did not know it had.

If it gives you an option to start the system in Safe Mode, you might try that.  Maybe this has already been suggested but I can't see those responses right now.
