Also, when they say "mash" they mean like, as soon as you power the computer on immediately hold down the shift key and start repeatedly hitting the F8 key until you see the windows advanced startup menu appear then stop. After that click the advanced repair options button and follow the instructions. You might even be able to get by choosing the automatic repair option. Good luck and let me know what happens.
