Windows 8 Windows not booting, black screen

[MH27x]

Hello, I've been messing with my computer (Laptop) for a few hours now trying to get it to work and it just won't. It got hit on the far right of the touchpad, shut off, and now will not boot.

I figured maybe it was my hard drive just having boot problems so I created a windows 8 bootable USB and tried using bootmbr, fixboot, rebuildbcd in that order to no avail. I then reinstalled windows 8.1 and still got this problem, but now I am receiving Recovery messages stating "After multiple tries, the operating system on your PC failed to start, so it needs repaired." Error 0xc0000001.

I try running startup repair via the USB and after a minute or two of "Diagnosing your PC" I get this;
Startup Repair couldn't repair your PC.
Log file: E:/Windows/System32/Logfiles/Srt/Srttrail.txt
I retrieved this file via cmd/notepad and attached it to this post.

I'd appreciate it if anyone has any ideas that I haven't tried yet. Remember I already reinstalled windows completely and 'fixed' boot.
The only thing I can access right now is CMD via my bootable usb and the bios, safe mode is not even an option because F8 does nothing.ile

Edit: New error message...
File: \Windows\System32\winload.exe
Status: 0xc00000e9
Info: An unexpected I/O error has occured.

Right after pressing enter:
File: \boot\BCD
Status: 0xc00000e9
Info: An unexpected I/O error has occured.

I'm guessing that my hard drive is done for, but if I am able to salvage it and keep using it then I'd greatly prefer it.

I also just added a chkdsk result and it seems that "The disk does not have enough space to replace bad clusters" But the disk is 500gb..?

It seems to me that in your case the problem is rather hardware related.
I would run a Linux live-DVD/USB and test the disk.

I would also recommend running a drive fitness test. If you have access to another system you can download and stick Hiren Boot Disc on a DVD or USB and boot to that. There are a number of drive test tools including Seagate SeaTools.

In this case, the error code: 0xc0000001 indicates that there might be some issues with the booting device or some booting files are corrupted. It might also happen if some problem happens with the boot sector of the computer.
