    An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data


    Hi all, im getting that message upon startup. Im running windows 7.
    It requests for the windows recovery CD to be inserted, so when I put the CD in to boot I get a "windows is loading files" then a starting windows with the windows logo then just a black screen with a cursor, I left it like this several times for at least an hour an nothing happened.
    I can't press F8 to access safe mode etc, nothing will happen.
    Pressing F12 to boot from CD just does the same thing as putting the CD in normally.

    Help please!?

    It seems the CD is damaged.
    Burn a new Windows 7 Recovery CD on another computer.
    You can download the image or make a copy of a functional Windows 7 Recovery CD.

    Boot the new Recovery CD and run automatic StartUp Repair up to three times as sugested in the forum manuals !

    Good luck!
