Ok, I have called a friend, he'll download win8 for me. I'm gonna do fresh install. But, before that, is there a way to extract my docs and files, cuz I really need to have them. Of course, I have nothing backed up...
I need two documents by wednesday...

easy way: open your computer, search for .doc / .docx
it will list you (after a moment) all of the word files. then they can be easily backed up to your flash drive

For copying.
Try to borrow any bootable linux OS CD/DVD or hiren's boot CD. You can copy it to a USB drive.

Yes you can, but i've noticed, that using it from dvd is a way more faster than flash drive.

Sorry, I mean run it from CD/DVD, and copy the documents to the USB disk.
Corrected

You have done a lot. Not even single word prompting on the screen, right?
I presume it got the boot system file but stuck. No boot file always come with "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER". Did you try repairing it with the installation disk?
You have done a lot
If you do have all data backed up. Better cut all the trouble off by installing it all over again from beginning. It saves you all trouble unless you have hardware malfunction.
