After MS December Updates WT8 Boots in Repair Mode

hi,
after the December MS Updates my Encore boots in repair mode.
Now i reset the WT8 to Factory Default
after this i patched it again and i had the same problem.
Is it known which patch has a problem with the wt8?

No need to reset the whole thing to ground zero. Windows Update sets a restore point.
   Control Panel > Recovery > Open System Restore
Set Windows Update (wuapp.exe) so that it's not automatic and install each one-at-a-time to identify the culprit.
   Turn automatic updating on or off
We'll go from there...

  • After a new update from Boot Camp on windows 7 my functionkey doesn't work anymore!!

    Hello guys,
    I never used this Community but now I've a problem and I can't solve it by myself so I hope you guys would like to help me.
    Specifications:
    Macbook Pro (mid 2010)
    13,3''
    With Boot Camp on it (Windows 7 Ultimate)
    Problem:
    Today (26-12-2012) there came a message that there was a new update for Boot Camp (something with Boot Camp 3.3 I saw). I installed the new update but when my Macbook restrated I tried if my functionkeys (like volume and brightness) correctly worked but indeed they didn't worked after the update.
    I restarted my Macbook like 10 times but it still doesn't work
    I hope you guys have a solution for me so the functionkeys will work correctly.

    Hi all,
    thanks for your suggestions.
    Unfortunately both errors still remain.

  • Blue screen of death after Windows 7 update-cant get into safe mode or anything else to fix!Help please?!

    Hi My windows 7 professional did an update 2 days ago as i logged out of windows to go back into os x and since then i get a BSOD when i go into windows which flashes so fast I can't see the error message- -I've tried system repair, restore, image, safe mode, booting off my bootable USB with windows 7 install disk on it- nothing will get past BSOD!!!
    I'm on a macbook air OS X 10 and windows 7 professional - any ideas besides completely wiping hte bootcamp partition using disk utility and reinstalling windows how I can roll back that update please?!
    I wish i didnt have to use windows
    thanks so much for any help I've tried everything I've read online and can think of and no joy!

    Sorry didnt answer other bits!
    I'm on 10.6.8
    I use reFit to boot into Windows so after my last time shutting down from Windows it did an update- since then when I go into windows i get the splash screen a pause then a flash of BSOD and the whole mac restarts (back to reFit menu!)
    I tried doing F8 in the windows and did every option- repair, enable boot logging, scan, safe mode- no joy
    I plugged in bootable USB (i installed from bootable USB originially also but the current USB im using I installed Windows 7 from onto a Dell no probs last week so its fine!) - went through F8 options on that too (booting into the USB windows via reFIt again) - but same issue!
    When I do the system image it just doesnt see the USB drive at all with the backup on it

  • HT204306 My Ipad does not reboot after the last update, I tried the reset mode and that didnot work . All I get when turned on is the apple icon. Help Please?

    I have and Ipad  Model A1458 and serial number DMPJVX72F183  I did the last update 8.1 and since then I can not get it to work. The apple icon comes on then fades and then comes back then fades , this continues until I turn it off or the battery run died. I tried the reset but that did not work. Any suggestion?

    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • MMS over WiFi not working after Sense 6 Update

    A week ago Monday, the Sense 6 update hit my phone.  Once loaded, I could no longer send MMS over WiFi, stream Google Play Music over WiFi, access my content on Google Play Books, or back up my pics to Google Cloud over WiFi.  After several days of e-mails back and forth with HTC, it was determined that I had to perform a Hard Reset and lose all my information.  This after clearing the cache, re-booting, various Safe Mode re-boots, etc.  Nothing worked.  I finally gave in and performed the hard reset.  Now, the only thing NOT working is MMS over WiFi.  I've tried other WiFi networks and still no MMS functionality.  After about 10 minutes, I get a red triangle next to the message and an error notification, "Generic Network Failure."
    This is going to start costing me money.  Like so many of us, I no longer have unlimited data.  Now, every time I want to send an MMS, I have to use my data plan.  Not cool.  I'm hoping that someone sees this and is working on the problem.  I love my HTC One (M7), I really do.  But, we're talking basic smart phone functionality.  Without it, I'll be looking for another phone, and perhaps even another carrier.  I'd prefer not to do that, but so be it.  Please, Verizon, a little help?
    For what it's worth, the MMS does this first.  Notice the little MMS icon with the clock lower right...it just hangs there first...and sorry about the shoe pic.
    Next, it does the Red Triangle thing...
    And that's all I know.  Perhaps someone here, or a kindly VZW employee will see this and take pity.  Thanks!

    I am having the exact same issue with my HTC one, which started immediately after updating to sense 6. Very annoying since I do not have unlimited mobile data plan, so I have to manually turn mobile data on each time I want to send or receive mms texts, including texts with multiple recipients. Did not have this issue before the update. Love this phone, my very first smartphone. But it is hard to believe that I was able to send pics over text with my old flip phone with no data plan. And now I can't with the HTC. I just can't have the mobile data on at all Times. It has become very inconvenient ever since the upgrade. Wish I had never done sense 6.

  • Help! MacBook Pro only boots in Safe Mode and runs extremely slow (bonus: happened in Brazil and there are no Apple stores here - I need you guys!)

    It's a MBP mid 2010. Last year it had some problems and an Apple authorised shop changed the HD and upgraded the OS from Snow Leopard to Lion. After that it seemed fine. Recently it started getting very slow and apps (e.g. Chrome, Flash) would crash. At some point it seemed stuck so I gave it a hard shutdown - bad idea. After that it would only boot in Safe Mode. I ran repar disk and repair permissions from the Disk Utility and it booted normally again but extremely slow. I upgraded to OS X 10.8.2, but didn't solve it. I tried booting with Command D to have a hardware diagnostic - it wouldn't boot and now it only boots in Safe Mode.
    All data is backed and I have an external HD (but not an OS X Disc). Ready to anything. Help please!

    Also you can perform #1 and #2 as these occur before Safe Mode, so you just reboot again with Shift key if you need to enter Safe Mode again.
    At this point it sounds like your hard drive is dying or some sort of other hardware issue which I can only advise this.
    Try to install OS X on a external drive and boot from it, if it's fine then you know your internal boot drive is dying.
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    You can replace your internal drive yourself.
    OtherWorld Computing is pretty good about providing drives and tool kits to perform that function yourself.

  • After first round of updates on newly formatted Windows 7 Pro, boots to repair screen

    I have formatted this PC about 5 times now, exchanged a few different HDD's out, and get the same results after I complete the first round of Windows updates. It boots to the System Repair menu and does the repair but does not find any issues. I've ran boot
    sector virus scans, malwarebytes just for the heck of it, chkdsk and sfc. I have tried installing the drivers before downloading windows updates and also after the first round of windows updates. But it keeps coming back to the startup repair.. And I've also
    ran diagnostics and memtest and everything came back ok. 
    I can't really seem to find anything on the forums regarding an issue like this so I figured I might as well create a thread and see what comes of it. 
    EDIT: This may have something to do with it.. When trying to run updates, it first asks to install 1 update. I check it, and it is the Windows Update Agent. 7.6.7600.256. I am however able to boot back up after this 1 update. 

    Hi,
    Do you mean that you've reinstalled Windows 7 about 5 times, and the same issue persists after you installing Windows updates?
    As I know, Windows Update should not cause this kind of issue, how did you install your Windows? With an installation disk or something else like an .iso? Are there any addition software\3 rd party applications included? if yes, then remove\uninstall them
    after the installation finished.
    After you install Windows 7 and install Windows Updates, do not restart, check the cbs log first in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS, or refer to the following KB to gather additional troubleshooting information

  • Macbook will not boot up after running Software Update (Couldn't fix it)

    Hi there,
    I also have been experiencing some problems after running Software Update (Security update + Java) a couple of days ago. Similarly to Jandaf (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9000023) I have only the gray start up screen + Apple logo + gear wheel constantly rotating. Based on the information provided in this forum I have tried some procedures which didn't solved my problem so far. Below I describe I have tried:
    1) I have booted using the installation DVD and run the disk utility. When performing the First Aid/Verify Disk I found some errors ('Invalid node structure'). But I couldn't fix the problem using disk repair (same problem 'Invalid node structure' 'Volume check failed'.
    2) I also tried to boot in single user mode (command + s) to run fsck -fy. It didn't work. I got the following message (last 4 lines):
    CSRHIDTTransitionDriver::probe: -s
    CSRHIDTTransitionDriver::probe: booting in single user .. do not match
    Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleUSBTCKeyboard" has no kernel dependency.
    Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleUSBTCEventDriver" has no kernel dependency.
    3) When trying to boot in safe mode. I got a grey screen with the following message:
    'You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the Restart button".
    4) I also tried to 'Archieve & Instal'. Again no success. After reading the DVD the action is terminated because some errors (does not specify).
    5) I also tried the 'German Medicine' (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8728797#8728797) (i.e. Connect the 'problematic MacBook' to my old G4 via firewire and reinstall the 2009-001 update). Again no success. The G4 cannot mount the MacBook hardrive.
    I don't know what to do any more.
    A) Can I resuscitate my old system? If yes how?
    B) If not, can I at least save the data I have in my old HD?
    C) Is it possible to format and reinstall the OS or is this this computer doomed?
    Apologies for writing so many questions but I'm really freaking out!
    Thank you.
    B.

  • Can't boot MacBook Pro 13" (mid 2010) after installing the update SMC 1.6

    First for a long time was a white screen and noisy cooler
    After the system battery icon was crossed out and the indicator on the left side of macbook does not show anything and everything worked cooler at high speed (he was cold macbook)
    After reboot appeared and the system has stopped running
    Few days ago I have installed Mac Os X 10.6.4 but when the system had started working I saw my desktop it was at least 2-3 sec, after that macbook went to sleep mode. I pressed any key macbook and system started working, but without lighting screen. I used bright lamp and saw that all shortcuts and indicators (like wifi, battery etc.) have appeared on my desktop. After 2-3 sec macbook went to sleep mode again. Pressing on buttons and light from lamp gave me possibility to done update to 10.6.5 and after to 10.6.8. But at the end situation was not changed.
    When I boot macbook with using install DVD, I can use all utilities (disk utility, network util etc.) and macbook don't goes to sleep mode and screen has light. In my opinion reason of this - not correct installation latest EFI or SMC updates. I tried to install EFI update 2.0 and SMC 1.5 for 10.6.5/10.6.8, but system showed me that I can't do this update. I'll try to find some way to make EFI update, maybe this would help me solve this problem. P.S. answer from Applle support: Our updates can't to break your macbook... it's just coincidence. Probability theory it's just mystification
    this is info about my MacBook Pro 13" (mid 2010) MC374ll/A. As you can see I have SMC version 1.68f99 instead 1.62f7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 - I found information about right version SMC for my MacBook Pro mid 2010 13" from this table.
    If somebody has same problem, welcome to discussion. Maybe we'll find way to solve this problem... Or Apple will make fixes for us.

    After some time, I found answer how I can repair my MacBook Pro 13" (mid 2010). As I was writing early - Mac Os X update SMC 1.6 broke my computer.
    This is a link on repair instructions: http://habrahabr.ru/sandbox/67092/
    As a result I write this post on my old (but working) MacBook Pro.

  • Macbook Pro fails to boot after any OS update.

    Hi, I've been a PC user all my life so please be patient!
    I have a mid 2010 MBP running 10.6.3 with Win7 on a boot camp partition. I have read and followed the instructions regarding boot issues from many sources on these forums but nothing so far has solved my problem.
    I can install anything via software update as long as it isnt an OS update. Any OS update installs fine but the MBP will not reboot afterwards; I get an endless spinner. I cant boot into safe mode either, endless spinner again after the progress bar dissappears.
    I have verified and repaired the disk in single user mode and via the disk utilities tool after booting into the install DVD, I have repaired permissions I have tried just about every instruction I could find, I have read posts where people are talking about replacing ACPIPPlatform.kext and IOPCIFamily.kext but I'm not sure this applies to me as they seem to be saying to lift those files from 10.6.6 / 10.6.7 and I cant event get to 10.6.4.
    Just to be clear, I cannot update to anything above 10.6.3. I have tried combo and single updates for every patch version from 10.6.4 up to 10.6.8 and the MBP will not reboot after any of the OS updates. The only way I can get the machine to boot again is to wipe the Mac partition and re-install 10.6.3. So, am I doomed to be stuck on 10.6.3 forever?
    To add insult to injury, of course Windows 7 works perfectly
    I have no obvious HD issues, once I reinstall 10.6.3 everything works perfectly.
    It did cross my mind that the only thing I haven't tried is to strip the win partition off completely and put the MBP back to pure mac and see if the updates work then but thats a lot of hassle (its a dev machine) so I thought I'd ask if any of you fine people might be able to help me out before I go for the nuclear option.
    Thanks.

    Put a bootable backup/clone of your 10.6.3 volume onto an ext FWHD using something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!, boot from it, and try updating to 10.l6.8. If that works, then finish updating everything, and reverse the process. If not, then, try the nuclear option. I don't do windoze, so you'll have to figure out to back that stuff up before proceeding.

  • My mac book pro does not boot up correctly anymore after doing some updates. I did have my ipod charging to my mac book. I ran the simple updates and never go to the maverick update and now my computer will not boot correctly. Help!

    Please help my computer is not repsonding after doing some simple updates. I follow the instructions and which is simply click for the update to take place. I did what I was instructed to do. I did not do the new update for the Mavericks yet. I just did simple updates. The computer shutted down and restarted but would never get pass the grey screen with the spinning wheel and the booting bar that would not go past a certain point befor shutting off again. The computer is practically brand new. I purchased the computer from best by 2012 and the warrenty just ended the past October. I hardly use the computer maybe 4 times since I have had it because I have another main computer that I uses. However, I don't want to do a hard rest becuase I do have the entire adobe suits software that I paid for and don't want to loose. I have an appointment with apple today to see what they say but I hope that my computer that I hardly every use is not defected after doing a updated pushed by Apple. Any thoughts or suggestions???? Thanks in advance Apple Family :-)

    Well, I was at Apple for sometime on that day. I got a Genius that did not want to work. She basically jumped to the money to tell me that my hard drive was no good and that I was out of warranty (October 2013). I began to explain to her that I had only used the computer 5 times and that I don't use this computer as my main computer because I also have a Toshiba that is less expensive that I have had for several years and not one issue out of it. The rep told me that I could by a new hard drive for $161.00 and that I would loose all of my software and photos that I have on this computer. However, I told her that it's bazaar that it happens right after my warranty goes out and had I used it more often when in warranty before October then I would have been covered. Keeping in mind that I would still be very disappointed with the product because I would loose all of my information and it would not make sense to me why the hard drive fails on a very gently used computer. So I asked for a manager and it took her some time to get one. In the mean time I watched how the other Geniuses interacted with the other customers and seen that they were very engaging with convo and very help. I guess I just I got another lemon when I got my rep. When the manager finally came. I went from A-Z with the issues and that I felt that something could or should be done because the rep said that she did tests on my machine and it read to her that my hard drive was bad and there was nothing that could be done. I explained that I was not looking forward to paying for services to have my new computer repaired. The manager offered to give me 25% off the cost but I still didn't feel that it was effective. After he left and the rep wrote the notes in the system, I told her that I didn't think that all options had been exhausted and that there was something else that could be done. I told her to erase the machine and see if the updates could be installed and if the system would continue to do the same thing. The rep was hesitant and said that I would loose everything which we already know that we were at conclusion from the beginning. She assured me that I would happen again and that I would need a new hard drive. I just told her to erase the machine and get me another manager because I was just getting tired of her unhelpfulness and negative perspective. The new manager came and was very pleasant and I explained everything once again from A-Z. I informed him that I had the machine erased and that I need his help with options because I don't feel that the rep or the last manager was resourceful or helpful. He apologies for the actions of the reps and proceed to tell me that they will run all the updates in the store and that if it booted correctly that I should continue to use the machine with out adding the adobe software back on just incase that it crashes again and I'm out of money once again. However, if it does happen again and it is a hard drive issues that he would work with me to resolve the issues. As my computer went through the process of rebooting from out of the box stage another rep approached me because he could tell that I was upset and not happy. I told he what had happen and he said I think I can help you a little more. He said that I just want to run further testing on you computer for different components to make sure that everything would work properly and pin point any issues. I was delighted with that option. Anything would help at this time especially someone who is willing to help. The first test that he ran was to for the hard drive and he said that since it failed the test the first time could be because the software update glitch and did update correctly which would make the test faulty and be negative. As I sit with finger crossed the test came back as a pass test that my hard drive was not the issue and that the update was the cause and that I did not have to buy a new hard drive. I was happy that the computer was ok but I lost information. All of the updates were done in the store and everything works fine now. If I was not persistent about my gut feeling then I would had left out thinking that I had to pay for a new hard drive that I really didn't needed. Now I can invest that money in a external hard drive to start backing up my information. Lesson learned by I'm still on the fence about things but I hope all is well. I really went through a lot. No help or no service was not an option that I was taken.  I hope that it helps.

  • Fail to boot (short-short-short-long beep code) after M92p BIOS Update

    Hi, 
    I recently updated my BIOS to the latest version using the System Update tool from Lenovo. For a while everything seemed to be working alright, as the BIOS was dowloaded and the computer rebooted. After rebooting the first time i was presented with the BIOS utility, and noticed that the update was progressing. 
    After 20 or so seconds the computer rebooted again. This is where my problems began. The computer immediately started beeping this short-short-short-long melody from the speakers. I thought this was normal, so I left the computer on for quite a while. 
    However, the beeping never stopped. Now the beeping resumed the instant i plug the power back in. I have yet been able to actually getting any sort of information on-screen telling me what's wrong. 
    I've tried following the "Recovering from a POST/BIOS update failure" on page 267 of the Hardware Maintenance Manual, but no luck with that so far. No matter where I place the jumper, the beeping code is the same short-short-short-long melody (yeah, it sounds like a disney tune or something).
    Any bright ideas? The machine type is a M92p 2992-B3G
    I'd hate to have to send it in for repairs, and Lenovo's Norwegian support line doesn't open until Monday, and there seems to be no way to call their 800-number in the states from here
    Oh, and would this be covered by my warranty if repairs / motherboard replacement is the only way out?
    UPDATE #1:
    I found this in the manual;
    3 short beeps and then 1 long beep DRAM memory
    error
    Perform the following actions in order.
    1. Make sure the memory module(s) are properly seated
    in the connector(s).
    2. Replace the memory module(s).
    3. Replace the system board.
    This is pretty much Lenovo's way of saying "You're screwed", isn't it?
    UPDATE #2: 
    I've now tried pretty much everything;
    The solution as proposed on page 267 in the Hardware Maintenance Manual
    Unplugging all cables and harddrives before booting
    Removing my PCIe video card and PCI Wireless NIC before booting
    Removing all memory modules, and trying 1 and 1 module
    Moved a memory module from another machine that I know is working
    No luck so far. 
    Ideas would be welcome at this point

    I'm glad to hear it's just a simple memory error, however the original problem in this post is a bit more than just a memory problem.
    This became a problem after a BIOS update, so somewhere along the way one of Lenovo's developer screwed up badly, and it's been bugging me ever since. There's absolutely no way for me to use any PCI-e card with my M92p. 
    I've tried 6 different cards, 3-4 different memory module combinaties, with our without harddrives plugged in, and every thinkable combination of these.
    No luck. Therefore, I simply conclude that Lenovo are dicks, and we all know what dicks enjoy doing; **bleep**ing people over.
    I've given up on the issue, and I'll never buy a Lenovo again after this.

  • IBook G4 won't load after latest security update, repair doesn't work?

    Hi I had the same problem as someone else in this forum:
    "Last night I saw that my ibook G4 wanted to do a security update. I told it to do it, and the ibook has not started since. It reset itself after downloaded, but it just stays on the booting up screen, never actually booting up so I can use it. After about two hours of trying to boot up, I turned it off, and on again, and it still wont boot.
    I really need suggestions as how I can fix it. Thanks

    HI,
    Ok... you need to boot from your install disk.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck
    If you have the original hard drive in this iBook, it was probably a 60GB drive? When you can do this, check to see how much available disk space there is.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Not enough available drive space can cause issues like you are experiencing.
    Carolyn "
    I tried restarting it after the repair (there were some things to repair and I tried to repair twice just to make sure it didn't miss anything) but it still won't load. It says its starting the OX system, but when the blue bar reaches the end, it doesn't do anything from there. I also left it on for hours and it did nothing. My mousepad still lets me move around the mouse, the caps lock key still lights up, as the num lock key. I tried safe mode but that won't load either...any other suggestions?

    *" I also left it on for hours and it did nothing. "*
    Your iBook needs to go in for repairs.

  • After installing software updates, PB won't boot up completlely HELP!

    I posted earlier about my problem but on the wrong forum. I'm new to this forum and I'm a new mac owner in desperate need of your help!!
    Yesterday a few software updates needed to be installed so I did, they were minor- iTunes, iTunes Phone Driver, Microsoft Office, and a security update. I installed all the software with no problems until it wanted to restart. I let it do its thing, but after 10 or 15 minutes it would not boot up so I held down the power button and shut it off. It wasn't making any peculiar sounds except that after 10 minutes the crunching noise that the hard drive makes became sort of sporadic and lost consistency.
    Since then I have rest the PRAM, ran disk utility off my OS X installation disk and repaired the disk and permissions all with no progress. The repairs came back "appears to be ok." I also ran the hardware test and the results, once again, came back "ok."
    I've been reading through forums for the past day or so and haven't found anything quite like my situation. If someone could talk me through some other options to fix this, I would really appreciate it. I'm stumped and in a bit of a pickle. I really need my PB for school and am over 4 hours away from the nearest mac store.
    Whoever reads this will cringe when I say I haven't backed anything up... I'm not worried about losing music or pictures or other documents but I am concerned about losing my apps- I'm an art major and I really need all my photoshop, illustrator, flash, etc... I don't have the original disks for those programs since the computer belonged to my mom who is a graphic designer and got those programs through her work.
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me. You're a saint if you can offer any helpful advice.
    Thanks so much,
    Scurvie :0)

    Hi s,
    Was the PB working without any issues before this?
    Exactly what happens when you try to boot normally?
    I'm wondering if you did a hard shutdown (last resort) in the middle of your PB installing/arranging tens of thousands of files, so now there is software and potentially firmware corruption (something like a brain surgeon sewing your head up only halfway through the operation).
    Have you tried booting into Safe Mode?
    If you get the PB booted again, repair permissions (not from the install disc).
    Run Software Update, but never let it install more than one update at a time, and repair permissions before and after each update. If you want to be safer yet, go to Apple Downloads and download the update from there, then install it. Enough people have reported issues using SU that I never install from there. Also, if you're really running 10.4.1, that should be your first order of business; you should update to 10.4.11.
    If you have another Mac available to you, see if yours will boot into FireWire Target Disk Mode.
    Now that you've learned about backing up, I'm sure you'll go out and buy a FireWire external HD, and if you get the PB working properly again, clone the PB's internal HD to the external. If you ever have software issues again, you can simply clone the latest backup back onto the PB's HD and be ready to go from that point.

  • MacBook 2009 10.6.8 not booting up after failed Yosemite update?

    Hi Guys,
    I have a 10.6.8 Snow Leopard 2009 model Mac and have recently tried updating to Yosemite. After restarting and going through the actual installation process, I received the error 'file system verify or repair failed'. I then tried restarting the whole process again to see if it would work, and again it did not. I then used Disk Utility after the error popped up (as I was still able to launch it from the install program) and when I tried to verify the disk, it told me I needed to repair it. The repair disk button was greyed out however, so I assumed I'd need to boot it in recovery mode in order to repair it.
    One big point to mention is that I DID NOT BACK UP MY COMPUTER BEFOREHAND. I know it was stupid not to before I tried to install Yosemite, but what's done is done.
    So my question is: how do I boot into recovery mode and save my mac?? Is there any way of reverting the whole Yosemite installation process and going back to Snow Leopard??
    Many thanks,
    Bill

    Do you have another Mac or access to one? Could use the optical drive of the other Mac in Firewire Target Disk Mode.
