Hi, I recently installed Windows 8 onto a new hard drive (western digital caviar blue 1tb) and now, every time I turn my computer on, it goes in the EFI Shell thing... it says

 

EFI Shell Version 2.31 [4.653]

Current running mode 1.1.2

map: Cannot find required map name.

 

Press ESC in 1 seconds to skip startup.nsh, any other key to continue.

Shell>

 

How do I just boot to Windows 8 again and stop going into this weird thing, I want to get to the BIOS as well please

 

 

UPDATE

 

I've now managed to get out of the EFI, I am able to access the BIOS. However, when I select to boot from my wd hard drive, nothing happens, it just has a flashing line in the top left hand corner and I can't type anything

 

UPDATE 2

 

F*ck... Just basically found out that instead of installing the OS onto my 1tb HDD, I managed to install it onto a 20gb 2.5inch HDD that was from my xbox that had my ubuntu OS on it... Sh*t
