Screen goes black after second boot
Okay so I'm trying to install windows 7 Professional, but when it's done loading windows for the first time, the screen goes black, and it stays black.
Here's what I did:
I made a RAID5 setting in the BIOS.
I booted from the cd, agreed with the license.
Chose the custom(advanced) option and created 2 partitions, 160 GB and 50 GB in size. I chose the bigger one for windows to be installed on.
Next I loaded the x64 drivers for a raid config (I copied those to a USB drive from the disk that came with the motherboard (Asus P6T SE)).
It then started copying, extracting, installing and updating.
After the first reboot it continued the installation, and then I got some text saying it'd continue again after a reboot. It rebooted but I was too late with pressing a button, so it booted from the hdd, instead of the cd.
I don't know if it was supposed to boot from the cd, but as it didn't the first time, I guess not.
Now my screen is black, without a cursor and with 4 gray bars a bit below the center of the screen. It has been like this for about 30 minutes now, and I don't know how to fix this.
Can anyone help me?
