My Toshiba Satellite C55D-A5120 was working fine but was runnimg a bit slow so I attempted a Factory Reset and halfway through it, it stopped and said "There was a problem resetting your computer" and then it tries to boot says "Preparing Automatic Repairs" for a moment and then takes me to a blue options screen. The options on said screen are, "Continue to Windows 8.1", "Use a device", "Troubleshoot", and "Turn off PC". Ive had the computer less than a year.
Thanks ahead of time for all your help.

it looks like your recovery partition got corrupted I would contact Toshiba to see if you can get a recovery disc

There is an option to erase data partitions, and a second one that says Delete and Overwrite data partitions
But I wasnt sure enough to mess with it
