Not tried it yet, but assumed it was still F8. Just hit the reset switch half way though the bootup. That should detect the failed start and give you the menu.

Also if you are using a USB keyboard go into your bios and make sure you have USB Legacy support turned on

right safe mode is not loading as its stopping on crcdisk.sys and rebooting!
