Black Screen on Windows Boot
Hello, I really need help with this issue. I'm trying to fix my girlfriend's laptop, a Sony Vaio running Windows 7 Ultimate x32. When I power it on the Vaio logo appears and after it a black screen with a blinking underscore. No key works, except F2. I tried many ways, some described in this Forum, however nothing has worked so far.
I ran Windows Recovery from a USB and there ran Startup Repair like a dozen times. Tried to rebuild bcd by running bootrec.exe with its commands, more than a time, but no success. Ran Ubuntu Live CD , all the files and folders are in place, boot folder is were should be. Tried to build bcd using lilo and still no change.
All this happened after Ghost was interrupted during its running, because battery ran out and she forgot to plug it. Please, HELP !!!!
After three days I do not know anymore what to do. If no luck, I will go with Ubuntu, since I cannot reinstall Win 7 without the CD.
