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've let mine run 3 days now how long should I let it run?

     

    ur  ran for about an hour.

    I would suggest that you restart it.  You may have to try a couple of times with and without the media mounted.  I had the distribution software copied to a Flash Drive.

    I would try again after a couple of hours.  See what happens.

    My windows 8 get in a automatic repair loop and it couldn't repair it. And than it says log file d:\windows\system32\logfiles\srt\srttrail.txt

    What to do?

    I was upgrading an older computer from Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) to Widows 8 Pro (32 bit) and it was stuck with the BIOS on then screen.  I thought the computer ahd been converted to a useless brick.

    Coincidentally, a friend had upgraded hi computer to Windows 8.  He called me and said it was running fine for a month and was now stuck at the BIOS.  Nothing I tried worked on his computer, either.  He went out on some errands, left it running and when he came back, it ahd rebooted.  A day alter, it did the same thing and came ujp 20 mintues later.

    I tried the same thing on my old computer.  Within and hour, it came iup under Windows 8.

    My prescription: let it run.  It seems to be doing something with updating and it just needs time.
