however now the windows gave error and I can not install windows that comes from fabric
the original hd 1tb that was the main have a recovery partition
Partition that has two folders
has RecoveryBoot folder containing:
asdisklayout.dat
aspartition.dat
boot.wim

and other RecoveryImage folder containing:
install.wim

I've tried pressing F8
I have tried to boot from Hirens and run the command imagex / apply install.wim 1 c: \

but he did not recover, and now do not know what to do
I downloaded an image of Windows 8 the internet and changed the install.wim file that comes in the sources folder and put the install.wim file from recoveryimage folder, when you try to install and boot before you get to choose the partition asks the serial windows I have not

First off welcome to the ROG Forum.
Do you still have a working factory installed Windows 8 OS on your 1TB HDD?

If so I would recommend making the "Asus Backtracker USB" recovery media.
Once you make the USB recovery stick (16GB USB stick needed) you can use it to recover to your new SSD.
(Use the download link below, and download V.3.0.7 the latest version)

I used "Recovery Media" in the past to install the "Factory OS" to SSD, and it worked just fine.

I guess you are out of luck my friend, the only way now would be to RMA.
With your clean install of the OS you should be just fine.
Just install all the drivers from the Asus support driver download page for your model.
What do you need that's on the factory OS?

Your activation key is embedded in the BIOS, but you will need to install same Windows version that came with your NB.
