I booted up, tried to do advanced options, and have it do automatic repair. I boot from my Windows 8 pro upgrade discs, it won't boot the 32 bit OS disk, it will boot the 64 bit.ĥ. Couldn't get the machine to safe mode, so I figured well I'll boot from my disk. Only Windows 8 discs I have are Windows 8 Pro upgrade discs which I bought to upgrade my system with. Being it's late, I tell the user let me take it back with me and look at it some more and do some research.Ĥ. I can see it's there, but unable to mount it. I attempt to look at the partitions, which I can see a recovery partition, and parted magic allows me to look at that ok great. I run a quick test of gsmartcontrol on the hard drive which comes back with no errors. Booted from parted magic usb stick which gives me the gui works ok. Go into bios and disabled secure boot, disable fast boot options.Ģ. IE it won't start, it keeps diagnosing the PC, and then it attempts to perform a repair, which it is unable to do and so it reboots, attempts to diagnose the PC, etc etc and the process continues on and on and on.ġ. So I get there, and this thing is in a boot loop. The couple I have had for repairs were simple virus cleanups not big deals. In the last year or two, I've had 5 or so people even ask about it. Not actually repairing, reinstalling as of yet. I've worked some with Windows 8 before, but only on my personal PC, or training users hwo to use it. Yeck! Get onsite, realized it is a windows 8 PC, didn't really have a lot with me, but had my handy Parted Magic cd with me. So I get a call to look at a machine saying basically the computer will not start. I usually am better am a better tech than this but where to begin.
