Strange problem with bootup
Just came to my lappy which I had previously closed down into sleep mode by shutting lid to find it won't boot up.
When I initially opened up the lid, the screen was frozen at the time I had closed the lappy dow..
I rebooted but all I get is a blank (eg no colour or icons) screen apart from the cursor which I can move.
I have tried booting into repair mode and booting from my Win7 dvd. It says Windows is loading files, then I get the windows flag, and then the black screen.
I have also tried booting to safe mode. It gets as far as sys32/drivers/ndis.sys then goes to the black screen, this time without the cursor visible.
So it woulod appear that I have no way to even boot from my install disc.
Any ideas folks, and no, I don't really want to reformat, lol!
