When I boot uo windows 7 I only get a black screen with white cursor

[Nicolas Sydney]

Hello, I turn on my computer to eventually get a black screen with white cursor that will move around. The Toshiba insignia comes up beforehand as well as the windows four square icon then it is to this black screen and white cursor. I cant seem to get the computer to boot up from Windows 7 installation disc. Sometimes I also get a BOOTMGR image is corrupt. The system cannot boot. message as well. I imagine there is a solution of sorts as it seems many people have had a similar problem. I have a freind who maybe able to fix it seeing he is a computer programmer but that is not until the end of the week. If anyhting else if you have had the same issue and reading this - you are not alone!

just leave it at that screen for a while, sometimes it's windows doing some stuff at start-up.

Sorry no solution, but I have the same problem with a Toshiba Satellite Pro. Tried reloading Windows back to factory defaults but still the same!
Would be grateful if anyone has an answer to this one. Mine sometimes, rarely, manages to boot on its own, but normally have to run restore etc a few times first, takes ages. The only answer seems to be to leave it on all the time, it's fine once I run through all the restore processes a few times.
Thanks

Hi

Run a hard drive test in DOS... HIRENS BOOT CD etc, it sounds like a failing hard drive...

All the best Brett

Sorry but how do I do that, should I have a DOS...HIRENS BOOT CD?
Ive run the windows HD diagnostics and it came out fine, but think you could be right though
