Dell Inspiron 15 R On Boot up I get the Dell company Logo then "Preparing Automatic Repair"

Hi Ravi

I have run Diagnostics and there are no errors?

Hi ABM Trader,

Hi ABM Trader,

I would suggest that you start the computer to ‘Last Known Good Configuration’and check if the computer goes to the desktop in the operating system. Please follow the steps mentioned below to initiate ‘Last Known Good Configuration’.

1. Remove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer, and then start your computer by pressing the power button.
2. Immediately at the Dell logo screen, start tapping the key.
3. On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Last Known Good Configuration (advanced), and then press Enter.
4. Check if the computer starts up normally.

Also, Please let me know if the system is booting up to Safemode.

This is Windows 8 and so the only options I get are F2 Setup and F12 Boot Drive Options

I don't get F8 Options?

Regards Tony

Hi Tony,

Sorry for the delayed response. Switch ON the system and switch OFF the system 3 to 4 times when the Dell logo appears. This will make the system to go into ‘Windows 8 Advanced Startup Options’ screen. Please select Troubleshoot option and choose the REFRESH option so that it refreshes the windows operating system.

Note: Please backup all data from the system to perform the above steps.

None of these options worked so I have formatted my hard drive and loaded my own copy of Windows 7 Ultimate in lieu of windows 8 as I did not receive disks?

How do I connect to the internet as I do not have drivers?
