• HP G72-227 WM won't boot to Windows 7. Goes to a black screen with a cursor.

  My laptop is a little older than a year.  Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium. When you try to start, F11 to get to Recovery Manager does not work. It's just a black screen with a cursor.  The version of the BIOS F.17. Conducted tests of diagnostics and everything going on.  Lost my boot drive. Borrowed from a friend but it is not going to fix the problem. When you run the Startup Repair tool, it is said that if you have recently attached a device to this computer, such as a camera or portable music player, remove it and restart your computer.  There is no device connected but it keeps coming back.  System Restore has tried the borrowed boot disk and it does not restore the message gives that an unspecified error occurred during system restore. (0x8000ffff).

  Hello

  c:

  Boot CD

  BCD attrib s h - r

  Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

  Bootrec /RebuildBcd

• Start window manager: sometimes when I started my PC I have a black screen with the Windows boot manager at the top.

  Sometimes when I start my PC I have a black screen with the Windows boot manager at the top.  Although there are several options available, that nothing happens no matter what keys I hit and the only option is to shut down the computer and restart completely.  Sometimes the Boot Manager page turns and my office sometimes opens fine.  I've updated with everything Microsoft has Windows Vista and I still get this screen.  Anyone has any ideas.

  Do a startup repair and see if that fixes it:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  Hello, whenever I turn on my HP G60-635DX laptop, I get a black screen with the blinking cursor right. I am running Windows 7 64 bit and I tried to do a system recovery using Recovery CD that I bought online, but the computer will not get past the blank screen.

  Hello

  This means that your hard disk contains an error, or the start-up phase damaged operating system. If you have any bootable media, you must visit certain computer services near you.

  Maybe just an idea - you have a floppy drive? Maybe you have inserted the floppy in the floppy drive. If the answer is Yes - Remove the floppy disk and restart your computer.

• Satellite A660 boots up to the black screen with blinking cursor not upper left

  My new Satellite A660-10W sometimes (not always), when turned on, boots up to a black screen with a flashing cursor in the top left. If I stop by pressing the power button, it stops immediately. I then wait a few seconds and press the power button again and then it usually starts very well.

  Could it be updated during this process and I'll be more patient (usually wait a few minutes) before shutting down when this happens?

  Usually something like that shouldn't happen. Satellite A660 is no different from all the other models and OS must be loaded shortly after Toshiba welcome screen appears.

  You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer or an external hard drive enclosure, then
  saving them. Do this using several methods to redundantly. Of course, a real computer
  Shop or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel
  -Double click - Driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - device Manager - map - graph
  then right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
  is CTRL + ALT + DEL and the processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and END PROCESS on it.
  then on the tab Applications - lower right - new task - the type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is
  accessible by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all hotfix is usually a hit or miss
  base. That there is no information on a black screen as there is just a blue screen
  adds to the difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect.
  You can try a google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these
  cover a wide field of efforts.

  I ran the tests and got these errors

  It's the Dell forum, so why you post questions on a computer HP here?

  The Dell diagnostics probably will work correctly with the HP hardware so that the results are meaningless.
