Hi guys,

I have am out of ideas here and hoping someone can help.

I have a mac mini which has a windows 7 partition which I mainly use. Windows 7 no longer loads. I am stuck on the starting windows animation. So here's what I tried to get around it:

1) Last known good config - didn't work
2) System repair - doesn't even load
3) Did a system restore in safe mode - didn't work
4) System repair off of install disk - doesn't work
5) Created a system repair from CD from another machine - ends up with a black screen
6) Thought about re-installing windows, doesn't work
7) Want to load back into mac os, can't do it as bootcamp won't run in safemode
8) Thought about reinstalling bootcamp but install services aren't working in safemode

So to sum up:

I can access safe mode but that's about it.
I can't load up mac os
I can't run windows repair or installation from multiple disks
There appears to be no hardware issues as discs are read, display and hard drives are working in safe mode.

WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!!!

HELP ME PLEASE :-(

Fixed.

Not sure how though. I installed mavericks (the new mac os) and when I tried restarting into windows, it just worked.

For anyone else who has this issue, I think the solution =

1) Reset PRAM (google how to do this if you don't know, it's easy)
2) Once in MAC/OS, restart into windows (again google this if you don't know how).

That should hopefully do it.

Cheers.
