doesn't actually take me into any kind of safe-boot mode.Īny suggestions as to how to fix this? The Duo doesn't have a DVD/CD player, so I can't "boot from disk" (unless you can boot from a USB flash drive). However, F2 just brings up the same "Automatic Repair" cycle and F12 just locks the computer at the boot up screen, i.e. In particular, when I power on, I get a black screen with the new Windows 8 logo for about 10 minutes, then an "Automatic Repair" error message for another 10 or so and finally an "Automatic Repair Failed" message, with a number of choices (shut down computer, "troubleshoot", "refresh"), none of which do anything but get me back into the "Automatic Repair" cycle.īefore the Windows 8 logo screen comes up, I do get about half a second of the Dell boot up screen and I have tried to hit F2 and F12 at that point. However, a few days ago, it stopped booting up. I installed an downloaded OEM Windows 8 on Inspiron Duo about 10 days ago and for the first week, it worked great.
