Black Screen during Win7 install.
I'm installing Windows 7 on this Dell laptop, which has no DVD drive, by a USB key.
Problem:
1. BIOS loaded with optimal defaults.
2. Set USB key at first.
3. Starting windows logo appears.
4. BLACK screen with mouse. Mouse moves BTW.
Specs:
2GB ram, 250GB HDD set to AHCI mode.
I tried all the possible fixes listed on the web but nothing works.
Also, there's no windows 7 already installed in it so please don't suggest DISKPART commands because I don't get that screen where I'd shift+F10.
Tried to boot Ubuntu but it gives some error after that the logo appears and keeps on going.
