Windows 8.1 automatic repair loop

Hey there guys!

Apparently my gf's laptop died :/

She started it and suddenly the windows automatic repair started. Well now every boot leads to the automatic repair and i have no chance to make it run again.

i've downloaded the win 8.1 installation media and tried to boot it from the usb stick but if i do so it loops and the automatic repair begins again.

 

i personally think that the hard drive died but i can still hear it working "normally". what may be the issue and how can it be solved without losing any data? because my super smart girlfriend gives a sh*t about backupping ^^ 

 

please help :D

 

sincerely, TwiZZexx

That doesn't sounds like booting from usb, had the same issue with my laptop, I ended up reinstalling windows 10.
