    Failed installation of windows 8, now computer wont start
    « on: September 14, 2013, 06:51:04 AM »
    Hi guys, I just tried to upgrade my is from windows 7 home pro to windows 8. During installation laptop crashed during second restart. Now I can,t get it to load past the  windows logo. Is there any way to return back to windows 7. I can't start in safe mode as it says windows 8 cannot complete installation in safe mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I don't have a windows recovery disc and don't particularly want to have everything willed.

    If you travel to the laptop manuf. site there will be info on using the hidden Recovery Partition...
    This will take the laptop back to Day One status...
