Windows 7 partition won't boot, hangs on black screen / blinking cursor

Hi all,
I just installed windows 7 home premium x64 on a new 100gb partition I made first with bootcamp assistant and then simply with disk utility the second time. I can't get windows to load however, it just sits forever at the black screen with blinking cursor at top left.
I have tried the Bootrec.exe /Fixmbr
bootrec.exe /Fix boot
Bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd
fix that is floating around to no avail. The rebuildbcd command yields 0 copies of windows installed but still ends successfully.
i have spent the majority of my day trying to get this to work and have no leads left anymore. Please help!

I HAVE SOLVED MY PROBLEM! Windows is running excellently on my Bootcamp partition.
Taking a few steps back: I used Bootcamp to remove the disk utility partition, then remade it also using boot camp assistant. Ran the windows install, and this time instead of hanging endlessly on black or going back to step 1 after restarting, the install went all the way. I had to restart once when the computer hung on "starting windows" but it got back on track right after this.
I think I must've fudged something with Disk utility before.
Thank you so much for your help!

MSI GT683R Black screen, blinking cursor

Hello, I was poking around for a similar topic but couldn't find one, so here I am.
Mine is an MSI GT683 laptop; it’s about four months old and second hand. When I boot it up, I see the MSI screen, and then I see a black screen with a blinking underscore cursor.
I’m pretty sure this is my fault, because when it arrived I decided I wasn’t satisfied with how it was setup (plus it had lots of stuff left over from the previous owner) and I reformatted and reinstalled Windows 7 on it. It booted up great the last time I used it; I installed all the updates, installed all the drivers, restarted it a couple times, and it was working like a charm. I even put a couple games on it. Then I put it into hibernation and left it alone for a day, and now I have the blinking black screen cursor of evil.
This is what I’ve tried so far:
1) I can’t get into the BIOS. When I restart, it doesn’t say “Press such and such to get into the BIOS!”, and nothing I press works (I thought MSI used Del, but in a fit of maadfobdogbd I also tried lots of other keys.) For that matter, I also can’t get into safe mode.
2) As far as I know there’s nothing wrong with the keyboard. I can actually adjust screen brightness with it. There’s nothing connected to the computer.
3) The Windows OS CD doesn’t work. It seems to think about using it, and whirrs around with it for a bit, but I never get anywhere other than black screen, blinking cursor. I’ve tried both Windows 7 and Windows XP, but nope.
4) I think my Windows 7 version may be x86. However, since it was running smoothly enough, I don't really think it was an issue.
Sorry for the trouble; hope you can help!

Boot disks don't work, either. Actually, this thread here shows my exact problem, and the answer sounds pretty plausible, given how I put the laptop into hibernation. Unfortunately, that guy never got it fixed. :<
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=149961.0
I haven't gone so far as to take it apart yet. (I'm kinda leery of taking laptops apart. The last time I did it, I had to get stuff into this really awkward little space where I had no finger strength, and in the end I had to call a boy to snap the thing in for me. It was embarrassing.) I'm going to try swapping in another hard drive with Windows on it. I'll let you know how it goes.
EDIT: Alright! So it worked! Well, kinda. I got into the BIOS but it looks like my installation might be dead. I don't care a lot about the installation anyway, so while I'm going to try to fix it I may just reinstall everything... again.
I couldn’t get into the BIOS because it was apparently switched off for hibernation. What I did was that I dug up my giant box of computer parts and found an old hard drive that had Windows installed on it. I'm told that I should have swapped hard drives out (and I probably would have eventually), but just using a USB port worked for me. My laptop wouldn’t boot from a USB boot disk or from a CD, but it did find and boot from another hard drive, so I finally managed to shut it down properly.
I’m still getting black screen of blinking cursor evil, but this is progress. Still looking out for help.

Installing Win 7 via Bootcamp on 27' iMac 2010 gives BLACK screen, BLINKING cursor error (BSBCE)?

Hi All,
All coments appreciated regarding thiis issue.
I have a 2010 27' i7 2.93Ghz iMac with 8Gb ram, 2Tb Seagate, and 256 Samsung SSD.
I am running 10.6.8 with all updates on the 2Tb Seagate (has BC 3.04), and 10.7.1 on the Samsung (has BC 4.0).
I have tried over a dozen times to install Win 7 (both a 32 bit Professional edition and a 64 bit Ultimate edition) on BC partitions on both drives. These have been all on separate occasions of course.
All installs result in what appears to be a successful install, but when the machine reboots to launch Win 7 for the first time, I ALWAYS get a black screen with a blinking cursor error (BSBCE).
This is not the 2009 video card driver issue problem reported so widely and referred to in the Apple article TS3173. I had that model previously and the way around that was to connect a second monitor/LCD for the installation.
No this is a new and separate issue.
And I am no nubie. I have used IT for over 25 years and teach networking courses in the Win and Mac environments.
The problem appears to be in a corrupt boot loader install.
I have used both WIn 7 install disks to do a repair each time. The repair says it is successful but after rebooting all I get is the black screen and flashing cursor, with no keyboard response. I have used both Bluetooth keyboards and USB keyboards. Nothing seems to make a difference re getting WIn 7 to boot after the install on either drive.
I have also used the Bootrec commands in the command window. They all return a successful outcome but when rebooting I see the ever familar BSBCE.
Now,,,,,here is the real puzzle. I copied my previous Win 7 Ultimate install using Winclone before I sold my older 27' iMac.
If I restore that install to the 2010 iMac Win 7 boots fine!
So some error is happening on my current machine when the bootloader/bootmanager is being written to the BC partition.
The problem is there with the BC on both 10.6 and 10.7, and these are different versions of BC!
Now to further complicate the problem, I manage 12X 2011 21.5' iMacs in a lab at work. Win 7 Professional 32bit installed on these machines just as it should (same disks that produces the black screen flashing cursor).
I have read that some people thing it is a Boot Rom version issue, and there may be some substance to this as WIN 7 installs so easily on the 2011 iMacs in my lab.
I called Applecare about this and went through the procedures outlined above. The guy was very helpful and sympathetic but he had no answer to the problem. His suggestion was to pull the SSD out and do it again with only one drive. As the machine can ship from Apple with both of these drives I really do doubt that pulling the SSD would make a difference.
Mac OS 10.6 and 10.7 work fine, no problems on both drives, so I don't think it is a drive issue.
OK Mac gurus...over to you.

I have a bookmark for iMac w/ SSD and hard drive.
There is also the 'req'd reading' in http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
with one article on Black screen w/ iMac 2010.

Using Bootcamp: Windows 7 won't launch, goes to black screen.

21.5-inch, Mid-2010 iMac, running OSX Mountain Lion, v. 10.8.2
I currently have Bootcamp running Windows 7, for some windows specific programs. Last night, while using windows, I was prompted to install some updates. One of which required a system restart. Upon restarting (holding alt/option to select the Windows partition), I wound up stuck on a black screen, with only the cursor (and a "working" icon off and on) after seeing the initial Windows logo.
It would seem, to me, that the issue lies within the update requiring restart. However, now that it's stuck on this point, I'm not sure how to proceed, other than removing Windows 7 and basically recreating the partition, but I'm hoping there's a better way to do this than starting over entirely.
I'm considering changing my boot camp launch settings to launch directly to Windows, to see if that will allow the update process to complete properly.
I'll post with an update.

Boot from Windows 7 DVD next time.
Monitor hardware fans, temps, RAM, hard drives.
Install InputRemapper
Run memtest
update the gpu driver
make sure to have large enough disk space
Check points for restores are very helpful
what do you run ? games? Office?
Assumption is you installed Apple (Boot Camp) drivers 3.04-3.3
No reason to and a reinstall is unlikely to help.
Also, use Malwarebytes plus a good AV suite, MS Security Essentials is free and pretty solid (but still needs MB from what I have seen).

Won't boot into system (Black screen/ backlight on) - faulty logic board?

My iBook g4 12" 1.33 Ghz doesn't want to boot into the system.
1. Start computer (chime sound)
2. Apple logo on grey background appears
3. Spinning wheel below Logo appears
4. Screen flicker, big vertical zigzag appears, black screen (backlight is on)
5. Shift key work (led on/off)
6. Num Lock key works (led on/off)
7. no responses with any other keys on keyboard
What I tried so far
1. Reset PRAM & NVRAM & PMU
2. Put original installer disc in, press C start from DVD - same as above happens
3. Boot from external hard drive with operating system over Firewire - same as above happens
4. Mounted iBook drive as external drive with target mode - Other computer boots fine with iBook drive
5. Attached an external monitor, which doesn't get a signal
6. Run Hardware test over DVD - Diagnostics all fine (Screen fine all the time, running through all diagnostics)
7. Tried pressing on the graphic chip, as some forum entries suggest - didn't change anything
8. Start in Safe mode with [shift key] - no indication that in safe mode, same faults
9. Start in [single-mode] (see image http://www.somethingonline.org/dl/pb/singlemode.jpg)
Don't know what else to try
Any help appreciated

By booting off of various other drives (optical and external HD) and getting the same results, I think you are correct in assuming that something else is wrong in the hardware. You might make a call to one of the places that repairs books (like the ones in back of MacWorld) and see what they charge to diagnose and repair. But it may just be time to get a new machine. I'm in the same place myself right now; my G4 iBook seems to be on the way out.

MacBook Pro won't boot - stays on black screen and beeps every few seconds

Hi,
My MacBook Pro has been having issues - when powered on wont boot past the white screen and more recently will just stay on black screen and beeps every 5 seconds. I had someone look at it and it seems apparently the motherboard is the problem
and either needs fixing or replacing. As I am traveling in Nicaragua the closest apple store is in Managua (capital). Would I be able to get the motherboard looked at and replaced if need be at this apple store? Also, does anyone know the approximate price for the motherboard to be replaced? Up until a few days ago the laptop was still turning on and working every now and then but now stays on black screen and beeps.
Any advice would be very helpful!
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It means that your Mac's memory is damaged > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2538?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
First, replace the memory modules. You can buy more memory at OWC or Crucial. It can also be replace by a reseller.
If it doesn't work, the RAM slots are damaged, so your logic board has to be replaced. It costs more than a half of the price of your MacBook

Please help - black screen blinking cursor 24" imac and XP home sp2

Brand new 24" imac purchased yesterday from the apple store with a 4 gig ram upgrade (i.e. all the newest stuff/versions). All updates installed & current.
Brand new (clean & scratchless) copy of Windows XP Home with SP2.
I ran the bootcamp assistant and made a 20 gig windows parition (so its under the 32 gig limit of fat32).
Following the installation procedure the windows disk is inserted, the machine reboots and then it just sits there with a black screen and a blinking cursor. The CD drive stops spinning and no progress from that point forward.
I then read on here some had better lucky with a "copy" of the original windows disk so I duplicated it in this Mac (i.e. burned with its own drive) but exactly the same problem with the burned copy (which also opens fine from within OSX).
I'm at a loss... where to go from here? We decided to try apple because they assured us we could run our "windows only aps" on the bootcamp side of the hardware but bootcamp isn't working!
Please advise...
If any of this helps:
OS X Version 10.5.2
2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo

Welcome to the Apple forums:
Be sure your XP disk had SP2 embedded into XP, and not a separate file or patch.
Also be sure your disk is not an ISO image but a real disk, with files on it. You can look at them using your Mac. Insert the CD or DVD and doubleclick the disk icon.
You should see most or all of the following files and folders:
(HOMEWITHSP2)
AUTORUN.INF
DOCS
DOTNETFX
I386
README.HTM
SETUP.EXE
SETUPXP.HTM
SUPPORT
VALUEADD
WIN51
WIN51IC
WIN51IC.SP2
When you copied the disk, did you make sure your copy was Windows readable? Mac has several formats, one of which is Mac-only for data CDs. You need to select the universal mode, Mac and Windows for the data image and when burning the image.
Also be sure you selected to close or finalize the CD after burning or it cannot be read by Windows.

HP G62 455 dx black screen blinking cursor F11 recovery same black screen

Hello,
I have an HP G62 455 - when power on shows a black screen with a blinking cursor. I have tried to hit F11 to do a system recovery and that screen loads the same black screen with blinking cursor. Performed Hard Drive tests in BIOS and all passed. Do I need to order a recovery kit or am I doing something wrong? Any advice is much appreciated.

My iMac won't boot, get a black screen with alarm sound, then gray screen with start up sound, then repeats

this problem started last fall after upgrading to Mavericks. If I shut down my computer (or restart) I have problems getting it going again. This is getting progressively worse. I hadn't shut down in over a month, forgot about this issue and shut down (which I used to do daily), so now I can't get my computer to boot. When I hit the power button I hear it starting, then a loud alarm sounds, then a long pause then start up sound with a gray screen with a progress bar. Once the progress bar fills, the screen goes black again for a bit. This whole process will repeat until I get frustrated and force - shut down by holding the power button. I have tried reseting the pram, starting up in safe mode, starting up with the command - R, starting up with my original install disc... none of it works. I'm at a loss! I do have an external hard drive that I have been using for Time Machine, but it's not recent because the disc needs repairs and I hadn't gotten around to buying a new HD to back up to first. Has anyone else had this problem? I really can't afford a big repair/replacement bill.

A long, steady, load tone followed by a progress bar can indicate it is trying to install a Firmware Update. Any other Tones would be multiple beeps and show an error code.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5860
You can also see a progress bar similar to booting into Safe Mode. However, the firmware update bar is thinner vertically than the Safe Mode bar.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
Either way, I would say something is wrong and it would be better evaluated at an Apple Store as Kappy points out.

Won't boot, hangs on blue screen

i was doing a software update of a bunch of things and the system ended up hanging for a very long time so i did a hard restart. when i turned it back on it went on very slowly, and got hung up at a blue screen.
i did another hard restart and it came on (slowly) but when the desktop loaded it only loaded the dock, and kept having an error dialog box pop up that said that 'Spotlight' was not loading, i could try again, ignore, etc.
i am now running the disk utility from the start up disk to check the hard drive. its possible this is getting hung up as well.
originally i came to here to see if there was a way to reinstall spotlight from the install disk. but with the disk verify getting hung up i'm a little worried. any thoughts?

You interrupted an installation in progress. This is bad news. You should always give it all the time it needs. Unless you have a Time Machine backup or a clone on an external drive, you might have to reinstall from the DVD. (And if you don't have either, it's time to consider getting some kind of backup. I would never do a major update without knowing I can revert to the backup if necessary.) In !0.6 this should preserve your settings and apps. When you are finished, install the 10.6.4 Combo Update.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048?viewlocale=en_US
But before you do that, you might see if you can get it to boot in Safe Mode by holding down the shift key at startup. This will take much longer than a usual booup; it's doing some checking and repairing, so give it time. If you are able to boot in Safe Mode, repair Permissions from Disk Utility in Applications > Utilities.
And it sounds like the system might have been choking on too many updates. I generally only use Software Update to see what's available. Then, if I want to do an update, I find the standalone at apple downloads and, if I'm doing several updates, I only install them one by one.

MBP won't boot, one beep, black screen

Specs: 13" MBP (early-2011) i5
After a power off of the computer, on restart I encounter this:
One beep every 5 seconds. Nothing showing on the screen. The fan spins (I took off the back cover to remove the HD so I can get off the files); however, the computer doesn't seem to boot at all. The battery does work as the power connector glows when plugged in and the battery indicator on the side of the computer shows it's level.
I thought it may have been bad RAM, so I replaced the RAM. Tested each stick in each bay. Nothing changed.
I've scoured the boards for any solutions; however, I can't reset the PRAM or anything else as all that happens is the same back screen, one beep every 5 seconds and the fan spins.

Early 2011 ?
Contact Apple before warranty runs out. It is important.

HP dv6911om - Black Screen Blinking Cursor- no Boot after BIOS

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had some experience with boot/startup issues. My computer tells me that it cannot detect an os. I have installed multiple Operating systems including linux based. The computer does start up sometimes, about 1/15 restarts.
I have tried resetting the phoenix bios. I have replaced the cmos battery, the initial tests specified a bad hard drive. Mem test was fine. It was a 200 GB (4200 rpm) I replaced it with a 500gb 7200rpm. After I replaced the hdd and installed the factory OS then began this new issue of no OS found. It HAS booted on multiple occasions. More so when I installed ubuntu. I have partitioned and set multiple OS including its factory Vista, ubuntu. I don’t even care if a different OS has to be installed or completely changing anything. Don’t mind learning Linux, that would be great actually. I just want this machine to run on startup. Any Ideas, tricks or new OS/software is accepted.
Is there some special trick to partitioning? Is there any possible way to reset or bypass the factory OS, or 'unlock' the computer? Maybe the bios and set it up with a different OS. The factory disks dont seem to be doing the trick.
here she is, the exact model:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01512668&tmp_task=prodinfoCatego ry&cc=us&dlc=e...
I paid a decent amount for this laptop and have not really been able to use it much.!
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your time!
Mero

did this also happen when you just had the factory image (Vista) installed? There are some steps to follow when setting up a dual boot system. We need to know if the "os not detected" was present with only windows vista installed.

Windows 7 Black screen with cursor after boot camp partition

So I realise this is a problem that was plaguing people a few years back. So I'll go from the very start.
I've downloaded a copy of windows 7 professional 64bit from the Microsoft website. My optical/CD drive isn't working, so I've been unable to use it
to install windows. I decided I'd try booting from my USB. So I have the ISO file and formatted my USB and I've downloaded the latest drivers for boot camp assistant on my mac (version 5.0.4) I'm up to date with every update for my mac. Now, I do realise that Apple doesn't recommend using a USB to load windows, but I watched this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z1gqw0ougo and it explained how to get the checkbox up when you're in boot camp so you can run from your USB.
My problem now, is that straight after I have partitioned my hard drive, it goes on to install windows but upon restarting it reaches "the black screen of death" with just the white cursor blinking. I've tried multiple times and keep getting the same result. I've even tried what Apple suggested and only have one USB device plugged in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4536

and it's a late 2009 model.

I have solved this issue now but seem to have encountered another one. I solved the above issue simply by keep on trying time and time again, partitioning the hard drive and trying to install windows 7.
Anyway, I have encountered this error: windows setup could not apply the configuration set. The WINDOWS folder cannot be found.

Can't boot to windows, stuck at black screen (with cursor)

Hi! I'll get straight to my problem: I can't boot to Windows (Windows 10 Technical Preview) anymore after installing VirtualBox (or rather, an Android emulator that installed VirtualBox) on my system. I get stuck, after the loading animation with the blue HP logo, on a black screen (I can move my cursor around) but the login screen never shows up.
The problem.
I'm currently dual-booting linux and windows for several purposes. My laptop came with a Windows 8.1 OS by default. Some time after the Windows 10 Tech Preview came out to public, I upgraded my system to Windows 10 (so my 8.1 is gone now). Everything's going well until I installed this Android emulator (which installed VirtualBox) on Windows 10. Everything seemed fine at first but after rebooting, Windows isn't working anymore. I can still boot to linux, but Windows just won't boot properly.
What I've tried.
I've tried A LOT of things. The problem actually happened twice already (at first I was able to fix it with System Restore but not this time around). I have a Windows 8 USB Recovery Drive at hand, just so I can access a Windows command line. It's not from my system, though. It came with a new windows 8 laptop of a friend so I just borrowed it.
1: System Restore. This worked the first time. But now the restore won't finish and throws an error, telling me that it can't restore my system.
2: Refresh PC. "There was a problem refreshing your PC. No changes were made." or something like that.
3: chkdsk on C:\. It says it changed some files, but it doesn't really fix the problem.
4: sfc /scannow. Again, something happened, but it didn't get fixed.
5: bootrec.exe to fix BCD and MBR. Doesn't work. (as far as I know my sytem is using GPT)
6: Hard reset (remove all power sources then hold power button). Still not working.
7: System Restore again. All the restore points aren't working. It reaches a "Finished" state, but then an error comes up after. It says can't extract a specific file, and the restore point is damaged or might have been deleted during restore.
8: checking and fixing bad sectors (nope, no bad sectors on my hard drive)
9: built-in component tests. It passed all of them, except the battery test (my battery really isn't surviving for any duration longer than 30 minutes, but that shouldn't affect my OS). I didn't try the really long tests since I thought it wouldn't matter as my problem is most probably completely software (since linux is still working).
10: cry. oh please. Windows isn't working. What should I do? (
Things I haven't tried.
1: RAM and CMOS battery reset.
2: Reset PC.
3: Format hard drive.
4: Test hard drive on another laptop's system.
If possible I'd like to avoid getting my hard drive wiped, since I have a lot of stuff to backup (more than 300 GB of files + dozens of linux apps and ppas), and I only have a 32GB USB drive to backup all the files I need).
Thanks for reading.

Sorry for the delay. Wasn't expecting the "road work" signs when attempting to check back with you in the AM here.
As others have already mentioned, the prompt for file systems occurs during text mode setup. Quick or Full? FAT or NTFS? How do you know what to do?
We'll start with file systems, short and sweet. Most any OS can read and write FAT volumes without fail which makes FAT ultra-portable, and the only choice if you want to let Mac OS write documents on your Windows volume. It's also more efficient on drives of 16 GB or less. However, FAT has no folder-level access control, so any file in the system can be manipulated by any user or by any system process. By contrast, NTFS is far more restrictive. It can only be manipulated under Windows, though other systems may be able to read it. Not only do you get the access control that FAT lacks, but you also get superior efficiency on large volumes, plus the power to compress or encrypt folders and files at will (in "business" flavors of Windows only--and yes, Vista Ultimate counts as "business" even though it will be supported much like a "consumer" version).
On format speeds: A quick format is very handy if you have a large partition or a single drive completely dedicated to Windows. Because it completes in 30 seconds or less, it will go a long way toward completing your Windows install. However, in some cases, volumes formatted with a quick format may have reliability issues. They must have fixed this in Vista, because Vista can only format at the "quick" speed.
A full format tests all blocks of a given volume (as opposed to testing an entire disk unless the volume itself is the entire disk) as the file system structure is laid down. Bad blocks are marked as "used" when they are found. This type of format takes much longer as a result of all the testing, but the result is a more stable volume from the start.
Get past the formatting stage, and you'll be right as rain.

At startup hold down the Option/Alt key and from the screen that comes up select your OS X partition to start the computer from. Then use the Boot Camp Assistant app to Remove Windows and the partition you reated for it and it will Automatically place the space you allocated for the Windows install back into the OS X partition.
NOTE:
Do NOT use Disk Utility to erase the partition that was created for the Windows install. Use the Boot Camp Assistant app again to do that.
