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:

    What can I fill out the form with?  I used my upgrade promo code and my personal info, but it does not recognize me.

    My system was working fine - great even - with Windows 8 Pro 64 bit.  I changed the power setting and he system crashed.

    When it went to the repair screen, I selected Advanced | diagnose and fix problems.  It startedde checking and then said it was  checking the disks for errors.  It said it could take hours to run.  (I have terrabyte drives.)  10 hours later,, nothing had happened.  I restarted and let it fun from about 6:00 PM to 4:00 AM  and nothing.

    Now, it won't boot from the USB port even though the BIOS sees and identifies the USB stick I am trying to boot from - the one that I did a clean install from.

    I pulled the USB memory stick and restarted.  It is int he smae loop and I ahve no clue what else to do.

    It seems liek no one knows what to do.
