We had a power outage, when I tried to re start my computer I seem to be in a loop, after the original screen I get a message saying there is a faulty attempt to restart please use one of the following departure, upward in SafeMode etc it returns right on the same page black and white How can I break this loop?

Often, a power failure will result in the corruption of the hard drive that can prevent your computer from starting properly.  Often, simply perform a 'chkdsk' with the /f or/r (chkdsk C: f) option on the hard drive will fix the problem.  Given that your machine does not start, you must run Chkdsk from the Recovery Console or start your machine from a CD for example bootable BartPE or Ultimate Boot CD for Windows and perform the chkdsk operation
