go into your BIOs screen and make sure your boot options are set to boot from cd rom first, than use your windows cd to repair your computer, if you dont have a windows cd i suggest you go to this link and burn the .iso to a cd.

repair your computer, if you are having issues to repair your computer or the windows automatic repair says they cant repair your computer, than maybe you want to run a diagnostic test on your hdd with seatools or sumthing to make sure your drive isnt failing or sumthing.

I have tried every solution given and nothing works. I have a DELL latitude D630. Windows starts and I see the bar moving and BEFORE the logon screen or when it should be the logon screen there’s nothing but a black screen. After a few minutes the white cursor appears. There’s no desktop no start button, no nothing, does the same thing in safe mode, the same thing after selecting last good configuration, same thing after the 60sec power reset. Any hope???

Would any body know the procedure for edit boot options screen so I can test with seatool and repair, because I can’t even access windows.

Hey jerrod i had the same problem,
the only way i was able to fix mine was becoz nothin on google seemed to work, tried runnin a diagnostic test on my hard drive with seatools, it failed , so i just ended up replacing the entire HDD an doing a clean install of windows. my advice to you would be to get an external hard drive enclosure an just try getting your files off it that way. id only recommend replacing your hdd only after youve tried repairing your computer with your windows cd failed, and if runnin a diagnostic with a hard drive diagnostic programme like seatools failed, and after extracting all your files and reformating your hard drive and doing a clean install fails, than its likely you need a new hard drive.

hope this helps anyone
