Hello Coonut,

Thank you for your reply,

I would suggest you to login to any other computer and create a Windows 8 installation disk. Using that disk you can perform the troubleshooting methods given below.

Refer the link to create the installation disk:

    I'm having same problem, but not on a laptop, instead on a desktop PC,  (Maingear Shift Superstock).  Have been running Windows 8 OK for 3 months, but now same scenario as everyone else.  I have not wiped my SSD boot drive because the loss of applications, settings and data located along with the applications here would be a horrendous scenario.  Has there been a fix?
