Windows 7 x64 installation stuck in Recovery mode
I've had this happen before where the system just keeps on wanting to go into recovery mode and check start up. With nothing wrong, it fails to find an issue or repair it. Then after a reboot it just wants to check itself again, over and over.
I can't remember how I got out of this boot loop before, but this time I just went into the boot folder and replaced the BCD file with The previous backup.
Which got me out of the recovery loop, but now the cursor just sits there on a black screen and it doesn't boot.
I even tried going into safe mode with command prompt and I wouldn't boot completely there either, it just hangs on the "black screen of death".
I have a further complication because I have an additional bootable system drive installed, (and that's where the boot folder is) with a 32-bit version of Windows 7, and I don't know if that is exacerbating the issue.
