I'm running a rather dated rig (e6600, 4gig ram, Msi P965 platinum, 2 sata hdd, 1 ide hdd, ide dvd drive) but until today it has been extremely stable with Win 7 ultimate.
This evening I tried to add a crucial mx100 ssd but on reboot it simply hung on the starting windows splash screen. I took the ssd out of the system but it still hung on the starting windows splash screen. I tried using the windows startup repair but it just sat on a black screen and did nothing, no matter how many times I tried. I tried to change the boot order to my dvd drive to boot from dvd, but that didn't boot at all, and now I can't get to the starting windows screen, or the repair menu. Now, all I get is a page of text ending with boot failed, and a cursor on a command line starting grub>. The only thing I can still access is my bios, but every boot option now brings up the boot failed! grub> error.
Any ideas? I'm stumped. Tomorrow I'll strip the system right down to my system disk and see what that does.
