Windows 7 No Go!!

Very true. The easy way is to reinstall. As also stated, forensics is 'sometimes' fun! Puzzles are a challenge and a learning opportunity. Allows one to share that experience through helping others.
Aside from the obvious and easy solution what steps would you take to solve the problem? One suggestion I will try is to find another box (my others are laptops) and swap out the drive to see if it will boot from that machine. Not confident it will but worth a try.

Has worked well for me on many screwups. Just run the installation medium and choose upgrade. It will leave all of your programs, files and settings exactly as they are but reinstall the operating system around them. You will need to re activate. It is a great way to re-establish the boot, too

Ive had this problem before, was due to a corrupt registry. i had to format to fix it, and i dont use ANY registry cleaners what so ever, cept CCleaner, that works fine for W7 RTM x64 Ultimate.

Registry cleaners in general do absolutly nothing, why would you even take the chance using CCleaner.

I have installed CCLeaner on hundreds of machines and never had a single complaint. Same with the Auslogics defraggers. These are the state of the art in tech.

OK. It is not a boot problem. Back to suspecting the ATI v9.7 driver for the Radeon 4770 card. Here is a boot log from this morning.

Sorry Amedeus, that just shows what drivers were loaded on bootup and have little value as to your problem.... I think its time for that clean install that we were talking about ...

Exactly what is "his problem" ?

His OP, 08-25-2009, said he could not get into 'Safe mode'. = Post # 1

His post # 5, 4 Weeks Ago, says "produces a blank screen" in selection of w7.

Tews post # 26, 3 Weeks Ago, said "format the disk and reinstall."

Now, in post # 34, 7 hours ago, a 'boot log' is available, indicating driver load difficulties.

From: No safe_mode, and a blank_screen,
To: An available 'boot_log', which seems to indicate some progress, somewhere.

No posts regarding how he got to where he is now.

Isn't the Boot_log only available by enabling in 'Safe_mode' ?

Amedeus seems to be asking for help, while not answering any questions requesting information from him.
And, not providing enough detail as to what he has done, between posts.

So, exactly what is "the problem", right now ?
Is Safe mode available ?
Is there more than a 'blank-screen' w/normal click ?
Where did the boot_log come from ?
Did the 'in-the-blind' info help ?

Tews · 30 Sep 2009

His problem is that he needs to do a clean install but hasn't come to that realization yet... Sometimes subtly doesn't work, and the direct approach is called for..

Uber Philf · 30 Sep 2009

Direct approach FTW, i think a format is heading your way mate, the sooner the better.

Amadeus · 01 Oct 2009

Chuckr -

So, exactly what is "the problem", right now ?
Is Safe mode available ? It is not. Just the blank screen with cursor.
Is there more than a 'blank-screen' w/normal click ? Clicking doesn't do anything.
Where did the boot_log come from ? From the boot options screen from C:> (where one selects the OS to boot, which is Win 7 on a single partition disk) I selected boot logging. Am able to pull up the ntbtlog.txt file which is what was posted.
Did the 'in-the-blind' info help ? The suggestions you offered early on were helpful. Thanks for those. I've been remiss in posting what I have done so far but, so far, nothing has helped get me back to where I belong! If and when I do find what works I will definitely post.
I did also run CHKDSK /r which found and corrected some errors on the drive. But, that did not solve the problem.
Also ran the fixes suggested for the MBR which appears to be fine as it is at least loading drivers.
One question is what would the next driver be that is not loading? Possible that is corrupt?
Another suggestion I haven't tried but will is to use the backup config file to overwrite the current one (after backing up the current one). Not too sure about that tactic.
BTW, for those suggesting I reinstall, I may get there. But, being the somewhat stubborn German/Irish person I am that point hasn't yet arrived. Hopefully in all of this some others may find a kernal of help in this. My SO gets a bit annoyed with this. But, as somewhat of a techie herself, she does understand. Just have to be careful of her Sicilian nature on occasion :)

Came accross this thread looking for a fix for a customers pc . I ended up removing the hard drive and loading it into a drive enclosure on another pc. i went to where the hive is stored. c:\windows\system32\config

inside there is a restore directory with the hive files , default sam security software. i copied these files an pasted them over the current ones in the config directory. PC boots into windows fine now.

i know this is probably considered Necroing a thread but i figured since it didnt sound like it was resolved i would register and put my fix as a possible solution for others. good luck

Windows 7 No Go!!

What about repair install?
