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:

Wish u a Happy New Year!

    Brilliant answer, but many pc's come pre-installed and have no boot disk or USB startup disk.  I bought my autistic son a pc with windows 8 - and this problem is happening on his machine. I ask myself would you fly in a plane as well tested as windows 8?

    I tried all these suggetions but none of them are working.

    Please note that most of the people have downloaded or upgraded the windows 8 from microsoft site only , then there is no quetion of installation of windows 8 throght DVD or USB and booting the same.

    Requesting you to provide ideal/best solution which can work for all the users of windows 8 , it shall be not like you give 10 solutions and we keep on trying every solution and finally we are also not sure whether this will work or not?

    Hope , microsoft can resolve this automatic repair issue on urgent basis as this is a very serious issue and needs to be addressed immidiately. Requesting Microsoft to do the needful and inform to every user the common solution to this problem,

    Regards,

    As usual Microsoft has put out a subpar **** OS again. I have had this problem 3 times in 2 weeks with a new Acer, this OS completely SUCKS. The boot options are shoddy and not intuitive, the auto-repair function should be called Auto we screwed up your laptop and you need to re-install this crappy OS and lose all of your files in the process.
