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!

    I have the same problem, and nothing in this page worked so far. I don't know whatelse to do. Even if I choose the "don't restart in case of error" option, it restarts over and over again. Please come up with a working solution!

    To fix this (Note: by doing this you will lose all your current files and folders):

    1. Insert Windows 8 disc
    2. Choose language, Date/Time settings and click next
    3. Select "Install"
    4. Click (Custom), NOT upgrade
    5. Wait for the download to finish and you should be able to get on your PC again.
