I was attempting to upgrade to windows 8.1 on my Pavillion 6 laptop the other day. When it got to the 'restart' part of the upgrade, I got a message saying that the upgrade had failed and I had to choose whether to retry or revert to windows 8. I chose to revert to win 8 and when the laptop restarted, i got the startup screen with 'preparing to repair' then it went to 'diagnosing' then 'attempting repairs' then it restarted. Now, all it does is loop through those screens. I have done the diagnostics via pressing F2 on powering up and tried to do a system tune up. That tells me that the 'hard disk short dst failed. It's not sounding good to me. Anyone got any advice? Thanks.
