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:

Hi,

If you need Windows 8 install media in order to try the Startup repair, you can do one of two things. You can go to www.mswos.com and fill out the form. From the next screen, you should see an option to download Windows 8. To get the option to create the ISO file, make sure you're using a Windows 7 PC, otherwise that option will not be available. You will also need your product key to download Windows 8.

Also, you can go to the following link:

Hope this helps!

I have the same issue with my laptop. I upgraded it from Vista to Windows 8. Firstly, it went so well but when I restarted after the upgrade it went into a loop. For a very long time i had a blank screen so I had to force it off and start again but all to no avail. Well, it finally went into repair mode and I did every thing possible in the dialog box that appeared yet nothing good happened. I do not have the DVD even though I bought it online and saved my file as an ISO file. In that case, I am not able to booth from a DVD or a USB.

Microsoft, please tell me where to go from here.

Thank you
