    Boot missing, stuck at black screen with blinking white dash, and more


    First, i restarted my stupid computer
    Then, i got that grub error.
    I happily fixed that.
    However, when I restarted it again,
    I got stuck at black screen with stupid blinkking white dash.
    So I use the Recovery Disc thingy
    And i clicked that first option.
    Then it says, something like
    unable to fix it.
    Then it says that the stupid missing boot thingy is missing.
    Googled for solution.
    Tried those command prompt like
    Fixmbr or scanos
    (it says theres an installation
    I typed Y for yes and still,
    That boot missing chkdsk thingy still pops up)
    Remove hardwares (wait whats a hardware is it those usb thingy?)
    Checked the BIOS which I googled again for its meaning.(and yes, it is in order)
    But never worked.
    So any suggestions or explain with more detail?
    Because I have no idea about these computer stuffs.
    Help me !

    GRUB can often corrupt Win7 beyond repair when on the same HD. You may end up having to wipe the HD to reinstall.
