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 really wish that I had set up windows 8 to backup the files so I could restore it.  If i get windows 8 out of this automatic repair loop i'm definately going to set up system image restore for every 24 hours.  This is ridiculous, I transferred all my files from my old computer (about 200 gigabytes) which included six months of research and work.  I ordered an external hard drive a couple of days a go and this just happened yesterday!!  Microsoft support said they wouldn't help (well they would for a fee of 99 dollars) because windows 8 came preinstalled on the computer.  I called hp and the lady ran me through all the basic and useless steps.  she said to hold escape while turning on the computer and that brought me to a startup menu.  but in the end i came right back to that blue screen of death.  Don't know what to do!! i'm sort of panicked right now- (besides files i've got a lot of programs like adobe cs6 master collection which i use in my spare time (and cost over two thousand dollars))  i use an hp-pavilion p6-2330 if that helps

    If anybody found something useful please post!!

    i dont understand how you do that?

    which option do i select when it opens up the autorepair?

    im confused please help

    No it is not an option in autorepair. We mean at the very beginning, when first time starting W8. In my case when I started up my new, W8 OEM pre-installed pc.
