Reboot loop during Preparing to configure Windows #2

Hey.


I'm helping a colleague, he's got a problem with his data.
when he explain the problem so I thought it stuck in a loop, so thought it would be easy problems.

but no ...
He says the last thing the computer did was a windows updated and the day after did not start,

when i start it so comes the logo forward "VI10" and a ladning circle below for a 1min or 2.
then you hear the fan is increasing and it is reading something, then it jumps to a black screen for 1-2 minutes then comes "Preparing to configure Windows".

I let it stand for six hours before I turned it off and start looking try start it in safe mode

have used boot setup before on XP and W7 so know how it looks / works
but I can not access it anywhere, I read somewhere you could force it with F8 but do not work

You might have something that might work ??

Oh also try to bot with cd = same rubbish

it is a ::
Sony VA10
intel inside Core i5
Model: SVE151J13M
windows 8

Hello

A common error, which could be easily resolved by using DISM to remove all pending updates, it's just a couple of minutes work, read this article

If after that you're still experiencing problems, then try to use a system restore point from some days ago.
