I'll take that over a regurgitated chromebook ad.
Does it boot to safe mode? Because I'm pretty sure Windows includes USB drive support for safe mode. You could just dump your files that way.

Actually my angle would have been Google Docs.
Have fun not recovering your important files, loser.
Just built my new work computer and put this on it last week.
Hyper-V :rejoice
'Skip every other Windows OS' is a solid rule to compute by.
So I had a Vista laptop for the last five years. I got a Windows 7 laptop last month, and I have to say, win 7 is awful compared to Vista for image based fapping. For videos it's the same, but say you just want to have a dozen or so femjoy or hegre art model pics open. With Vista it was super easy to click back and forth between them, but with Win 7, no matter how many images you have open, it's just one tile one the taskbar. So there's an additional layer of user input required, which isn't ideal in a fap context. I imagine Windows 8 must be much the same.

I didn't think Hyper-V supported W8 as a guest OS. Are you running Server as the host? Because if there's a way to get W8 in a VM I'd like to try it out.
Try burning another copy on a different computer.
hm, my computer booted up just fine this morning. sounds like a local issue.mine works fine too

When I first got the computer, it didn't come with a recovery disc set, but with a recovery tool to burn my own set (Asus was being cheap and stopped shipping them). When I attempted to burn the discs it constantly threw a "task could not be completed" error, to the point where I requested a set from Asus when I shipped my laptop for repairs.
What I'm seeing right now is exactly the result of that— the guys at Asus didn't care to check whether burning the 4th disc was completed or not and shipped me an incomplete image set.
My very last hope is Positive_Touch. He has the exact same model and I hope that somehow the recovery discs are identical. If not, I'm screwed.
No. W8 has Hyper-V. I'm using that to run virtual servers. Today I set up my own domain. Then I tried to get a Lync 2013 server up on it.
I thought that would be fairly easy and straight-forward, but :kobeyuck

Why install new OS and Driver updates on your work PC in the first place. And MS yanked RT, not 8.
Blame yourself, AMD or god.
Actually, Win7 inexplicably deleted all the contents of my desktop and my restore points. I almost lost a week's worth of research. Having the stuff saved in google drive saved me.Desktop PC or desktop folder?
Folder.Oh, I didn't ask to offer help. :hitler
the moral of the story is BACKUP YOUR SHIT
1) back everything up to an external drive
2) back the most critical items up to a remote server as well
It's 2013, we all have broadband and the cloud, there are infinite solutions.
Here, try this. Kind of involved, but it's either this or pulling your drive and putting it in another computer temporarily.

There's a link at the end of the tutorial to create a bootable USB drive instead. You can do CD or a DVD or USB.

Optionally, couldn't he use a USB flashdrive or CD-R with Knoppix on it to access the harddrive and then go through installing Windows as a complete wipe after that? Or would Knoppix/Linux read the drive and freak out like Win8 did? AFAIK that's a solution that some people have used to access inaccessible drives without having to get an external closure.
Since upgrading to 8.1, one of my external hard drives randomly disconnects and reconnects itself. Seeing others reporting the same thing so I know that it's not the drive failing. Also finding that Steam fucks up if I plug my 360 controller into certain USB ports now. Guess it's fine with the USB 2.0 ports but has issues with USB 3.0? Fucking weird.
Windows 8 seems to be breaking a lot of otherwise working computers. Jesus, remember Vista? That thing broke all sorts of hardware. Seems to be a running gag with new MS operating systems.

I've heard (not 100% on this) that it has to do with the APM settings on the external hard drive. Try using CrystalDiskTools and turn off APM with it.
You might also try telling Windows (via Device Manager) to not shut down the USB ports to save power. W8 is very aggressive on power management, even with desktops.
And the ISOs from MSDN/TechNet are leaked from day one but you need 8.1 key to use them. Several websites posted how you can bypass that and use your original 8 key once you done reformatting.
They're phasing out TechNet now? Just found out about that.
