When I open up my Lenovo y510p idea pad it loads the loading screen and then I get the error. All the options I'm given are esc to uefi configuration. I'm only given the options of information, configuration, security, boot. I have no idea what to do. 

Btw I know it says I need a installation media but I simply do not have it.

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience you are facing. I will certainly help you with this.

    Normally, if you are unable to boot the Windows 8.1 to its Start Screen, the Automatic Repair will check for the errors which is preventing Windows from booting up and will fix it. If this fails, then when you may need to run the Automatic Repair by booting the computer to Windows 8.1 installation/recovery disc and then it will fix the issue if the issue with any startup files required for Windows 8.1 to boot up.

    If you do not have Windows 8.1 installation DVD, or if it's not working fine then you may have to create one, boot the computer from it and then perform an Automatic Repair. To create installation media, you may refer to the article given below:

    Create installation media for Windows 8.1

    After creating the disc, boot the computer from the disc and then try the following method to perform an Automatic Repair.

    a) Contact the computer manufacturer to know on how to change the boot order of the computer. You will have to change the boot device to CD/DVD drive and then boot from the Windows 8.1 installation disk.

    b) In the “Windows Setup” dialog box that appears, set the Time and currency format, Keyboard or input method and the language to install and then click “Next”.

    c) Click on “Repair your computer” from the lower left corner.

    d) From the “Choose an option screen”, click on “Troubleshoot”.

    e) Click “Advanced Options” in the “Troubleshoot” screen.

    f) In the “Advanced Options” screen, click “Automatic Repair”.

    g) Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the Automatic Repair.
