If you don't mind backing up your personal stuff, factory resetting, reinstalling programs etc. and Windows Updates, I'd say a factory reset was probably your best option.
As it's a new OEM computer, you should create a set of recovery disks which will be a copy of the recovery partition and boot up into the BIOS to change the Boot order to that of CD/DVD and USB drives before the SSD/HDD.
As for the recdisc cmd, I wonder if it will execute when you boot up into the advanced boot options and select Repair your computer - that will take you to the Recovery Environment where you can select Command Prompt.
I haven't tried that yet on my laptops (as I've only just thought of it
).
BTW - what was wrong that you needed to run WR ?
