Sounds like you really put it through the ringer!
Windows 8 as installed by manufacturer doesn't have a MBR but a GPT. Have you ever heard of UEFI? FIXMBR and FIXBOOT were commands in Windows XP. Since then it all moved go DISKPART. I'm afraid you've probably royally screwed things up badly.
Your option is probably limited to doing a complete restore of windows 8
suddenly appeared when I start Windows 8. It shows Win 8 and Windows recovery console as the two option.
I checked msconfig and easybcd for the second option to remove but only Windows 8 shows. I tried erasing the mbr with mbrwizard, repartitioning and formatting the hard drive, fixmbr and fixboot. When trying to refresh Win 8 it says C drive is locked. I scanned for rootkits with several products and they found nothing.
Any ideas as to how to get it to boot straight to desktop? Thanks
