Toshiba Laptop Will not boot Black screen with Cursor
I have a Toshiba Laptop that will not boot. When it boots up in ANY way will take me a black screen with a cursor. I have run all of the options from repair, all safe modes, and every other option in the f8 menu. It will not even boot up with the Windows 7 install format disk it takes me to the same black screen with cursor. The only time i can get it to boot off of the disk is to remove the Hard Drive and then it boots off of the disk properly. I also would like to mention in the black screen I have also tried to CTRL+ALT+Delete as well as sticky keys but nothing pops up for me to edit anything in any way. I am a computer savvy guy but this one has got me stumped. It just randomly did this last night. (one more random piece i would like to add in is that it started running insanely slow and then installed windows update shut down to install and it then started doing this.) I am all fine and dandy with a reformat and would love to do it if I could only actually start the reformat. Thank you for reading this and hopefully someone can help me.
