However it sounds as if the image folder is on the drive to be restored to. That's invalid backup in my view. Hope that's not the case.

Hi, Please help me.
I am running Windows 8.1 Pro on a HP Compac DX 7500
After a misfortune installation of VirtualBox I decided to make a system restore to the restore point I created just before the installation. That did not work at all.
Windows 8.1 does not boot any longer.
I have the following options for booting:
* Normal boot Result: Logging in Then welcome. Than black
Esc Boot menu I can select different drives for booting
When selecting primary HD Same result as normal boot.
I could boot from CD or DVD and maybe from an USB.
F9 Diagnostic boot When running it I get the error code. See 1) below
F10 Setup Entering BIOS
F11 Recovery Same result as normal boot.
F12 Boot from LAN
I have located the Windows Image backup folders. Should I put the image folder on a DVD or an USB drive and boot from that or how should I use the image backup file?
1) Boot path testing. Error code: BIOHD-4 Uninitialized / corrupt boot structure detected.
