Black screen with only mouse cursor on it - Windows 7 instalation
I am trying to install Windows 7 on my Toshiba Satelite L300D laptop from USB boot. The laptop is running Windows Vista which crashed. I changed the boot order, to boot from USB first, but after showing "Windows is loading files" and "Starting Windows" screen, when the Welcome screen should appear (that one which shows when you want to install Windows 7) only mouse cursor pointing to the middle of black screen is shown. I can only move the cursor, but nothing else works.
This same problem appears when I want to boot Windows Vista, that is installed there, when it should show "Welcome screen" to log in, only black screen, which I described above appears. I have read that this should be BSOD (black screen of death). I have tried many options, that I have read about, but nothing helped. I know that Windows Vista OS, which is installed there apparently crashed, but I have no idea, why I cannot run the setup of new Windows 7 on it?
Thx for help!
