Checking media.... No bootable device--restart system

[Kelmartin]

Okay so I had to restore my computer, and things were good and when it would come to the main screen it would say screening and repairing disk (c so when I try to repair it it said that it can't be repaired and now it's telling me that it's checking media and failed and now telling me no bootable device please restart system

Sounds like your hard drive died. Try bottling from a hirem boot cd and see if it sees your hard drive. On hirem boot cd in mini xp so you can try and get your personal files off the hard drive.

I don't know what that means, technology retarded

Would saying your hard drive floating upside down in a fish tank...say that the hard drive is damage or dead. You need to run some tests or try and boot from a recovery cd to see if the drive data still there.

Well i fix it. Well a friend fix it
The hard drive was not dead for me, he re-install windows 8 but the wasn't easy. its like the CD Drive and USB ports were corrupted because when he try to re-install in from the USB and CD none of them work but i knew that my USB port was working and so was my CD drive when the Laptop was working back then. So he went for a External CD Drive (If that's the name) and plug it into the laptop then it began to re-install , But this is what i want help with;

I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO ACTIVATE WINDOWS 8.............. oh a butterfly LOL.

Down in the right end corner of the screen i see this;
Windows 8 Release Preview
Build 8400

WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN? :s
