    I am unable to boot my Windows 8 in safe mode. :mad:
    I want to use ESET purefix. Is it safe :confused:

    I tried running msconfig.exe
    But I am unable to click in any of the boxes marked.
    Its unclickable in only boot tab. I have uploaded image.

    I have also tried to boot in safe mode through Startup Reapair Boot.

    I went in advanced settings and clicked on restart for safe mode.
    I got error d000000f.

    I also tried the option from Purefix 2.02 to boot in safe mode. But this also didnt worked.

    Any solution for this?o_O

    This is a simple script that will give you a boot entry for safe mode. Run it in the Win8 you wish to have a safe mode entry for. It essentially copies the current boot entry, renames it to safemode, asks you wich entry to add the nessessary safe mode commands to, and then self deletes. It has to ask wich entry to edit because the new safemode entry is last in the list, and it is impossible to know wich entry to edit if you have a dual boot setup.

    Code:
    @echo off
    title Win8 Safemode
    :checkPrivileges 
    NET FILE 1>NUL 2>NUL
    if '%errorlevel%' == '0' ( goto gotPrivileges ) else ( goto getPrivileges ) 
    :getprivileges 
    if '%1'=='ELEV' (shift & goto gotPrivileges)  
    setlocal DisableDelayedExpansion
    set "batchPath=%~0"
    setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
    ECHO Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\OEgetPrivileges.vbs" 
    ECHO UAC.ShellExecute "!batchPath!", "ELEV", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\OEgetPrivileges.vbs" 
    "%temp%\OEgetPrivileges.vbs" 
    exit /B 
    :gotPrivileges 
    setlocal & pushd .
    
    @echo off & color 1F
    Set BCDEDIT=%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\BCDEDIT.exe
     %BCDEDIT% /copy {current} /d "Windows 8 (Safe Mode)"
     %BCDEDIT% /timeout 10 
     cls
      echo.
      echo.
      echo   Activate Win8 Safe Mode
      echo.
      echo.
    set _count=1
    for /f "tokens=1* usebackq skip=1" %%a in (`"%BCDEDIT% | find "identifier""`) do (call :safemode %_count%)
    :safemode  
    if "%1" neq "" (set /a _count+=1 &for /f "tokens=1* usebackq skip=%_count%" %%c in (`"%BCDEDIT% | find "description""`) do (echo            %_count%. %%d &goto :eof))
    set _choice=
    echo.
    echo.
    set /p _choice=Enter a number (Q to quit): 
    echo.
    echo.
    if "%_choice%" equ "" goto :eof 
    if "%_choice%" gtr "0" if %_choice% lss %_count% for /f "tokens=2 usebackq skip=%_choice%" %%a in (`"%BCDEDIT% | find "identifier""`) do (%BCDEDIT% /set %%a safeboot minimal &goto :end)
    :end
    cd c:\windows\system32
    reagentc /enable
     %BCDEDIT% /set {current} bootmenupolicy standard
     %BCDEDIT%
    pause
    DEL /F /Q %~dp0"Win8_Safemode.cmd" >nul

    The DISM Build Number is: 6.2.9200.16384 and that were was you'd seen. The DISM need some time for to work out and that's done in background. So it looks like nothing is done but it still works.
