asked on 

windows 8 boot error.

I buy an Asus  PC, once it was installed I made a recover disk in a 16GB pen drive.

After some weeks in others hands When I use the laptop I feel it very slow.

I try to recover it with the Pendrive, I start pressing F9, select recover Complete PC, and after several  minutes I get the error "enabled to recover".

Now without pendrive when I try to star the windows 8, the PC is in a loop, star "trying" to recover, ask me for language and keyboard type and after a time reboot, starting "trying" to recover.

I don't know windows 8,

Can I boot in safe mode? how?
Where can I find a basic manual for Windows 8 for maintenance.

Thanks

In the Laptop button is a small tag with the letter Windows 8 and a barcode but I don't know If It will be valid for reinstall with a windows 8 disk.

Did you look in the battery compartment?

I believe the Product Key may not be user accessible. It's embedded in the BIOS.

Usually, when one pops in the Windows 8 DVD and boots, it automatically gets the key from the BIOS.

I had not even imagined...

tomorrow I'll look (the pc isn't here).

Any idea about a windows 8 maintenance manual?

Thanks.
