One is a Nextbook tablet if you look it up this is a tablet with a micro SD slot and a keyboard attachment that has USB ports.

The other is a D255E-2677 Acer. Same issue. This is a netbook but still works and holds a charge.

Now I am not knowledgeable about these things, but I paid for them and I got a feeling someone out there knows how to make these work in some way.

Both have corrupted boot restore partition. So that is out of the question. I have done what I can and with the tablet I don't even know how to change the boot order. With the net book I can. Pretty sure I could get it to boot from the SD slot.

Does the Nextbook tablet have some sort of safemode you can boot into? This is a different model but it's made by the same company and might do something with yours.

As for the Acer netbook, You might try a USB optical drive and see if you can boot a recovery disc/live disc and go from there.

The fuck you message I get with power button and volume down held.

Any other combinations do nothing no matter how long they are held. And pressing the Windows key does nothing.

If you put recovery media on a USB drive and get to that screen does it allow you to run any sort of repair function?

Both could likely run a Linux if you can get them to boot from USB. A lightweight desktop like Mate or XFCE should work, but wifi, power saving, and display drivers work you have to find out with a live environment.

With the tablet, the BIOS and boot order might be accessed by one of the buttons on the tablet part or by the usual suspects on the keyboard.

You just need to use a windows disk or usb to repair the boot partition. Recovery software that image is referring to will be on that installation media. If you search around the net you will find those easily and I think even legally from Microsoft. Just write the error code into the search field. The worse thing could be that the hard disk has are fried but that's not likely.

Try to look on the back to find out which windows version they use because that will matter. It looks like 10, possibly 8.

To activate the BIOS utility, press <F2> during the POST; while the notebook PC logo is being displayed.

To set the boot sequence in the BIOS utility, activate the BIOS utility, then select Boot from the categories listed at the top of the screen.

let's see what is available

you may have to boot from a usb drive or something
