Can't get past the black screen with cursor in Windows 7 when I start my laptop. I've tried many solutions but I think it's not fixable.

If I clone this drive and then reinstall windows, will I be able to restore the HD using the clone without causing it to have the same problems?

I can access all my files in Ubuntu, but Windows won't start no matter what.

Thanks

If you clone the drive you will just over-write the clean setup with whatever you have on the original drive. Install clean setup of Windows then copy your files manually to the new setup, you'll have to re-install your programs.
