Hi, my name is teef, and I've been having a terrible last few days. out of the blue my pc entered a preparing automatic repair loop. it does this for a minute, then a blue screen with a frown face explaining that windows had an error, rebootsx does it againx and just a blank screen, and no safe mode to enter.. from what ive read is that these issues usually indicate that an os file had gotten corrupted, and that I need a way to boot. problem is that it's a refurbished pc so the os was pre installed. only other computer in the house is a mac from 2007, but I will have access to a windows 8 machine for a whole day. basically it essentially means that I need a boot dvd or usb and change the boot order and repair the os. I just have no way or,how to actually create one. I've read online that it is with 7 and 8 and that you can make one on them, but I have so little knowledge. PLEASE, any help at all would mean the world to me, thank you!

apologies for the bump, but I forgot to mention that I do have a base iso burned to a dvd that another friend gave me, idk if it means anything but I do have an extra copy of a base file in this case
