Hello guys,

After running windows update on win8 it asked me to reboot, after applying the updates upon reboot i get a black screen where I should get the login screen.

Also if I try to press F8, it displays "getting options..."(or something like that) and when it should load the options screen I get just a black empty screen that stays there forever.

Another funny thing is that my dual boot is gone, i cannot boot back to my win7 so i have pretty much an unusable computer...

thanks for any help

Try run the Recovery options from the DVD:

Can't, I don't have a DVD drive and I also tried entering the option pressing F8 upon boot but all I get is a black screen after it says "loading options".

What about the dual boot? If I could get into my win7 at least...

Did you a USB Pen Drive to install Win 8? If yes, use the USB Pen Drive.

no i didnt use, i created a empty partition and installed win8 from win7 straight (i mounted the iso using poweriso)

everything was fine, dual boot, everything!

all of a sudden win8 froze and now everything got screwed...

Go into Advance Option (at dual boot startup), and reset PC this as it states will "restore" your pc to pre-w8 install. Then redo the installation.

people must have a problem reading...

I CANNOT GO into advance options (I get a black screen only) and I DONT HAVE dual boot anymore (it's gone for some reason).

Make yourself disk of some type.
