HP G60-635DX will not boot up or get past black screen with blinking cursor

[DavidPK · Accepted solution]

Hi,

Ok, try the following.

Boot from the Rescue CD again, select Repair Your Computer and choose the Command Prompt.  When this loads, enter the following commands and hit enter after each one - include spaces as shown.

Bootrec.exe

bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup

c:

cd boot

attrib bcd -s -h -r

ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old

bootrec /RebuildBcd

bootrec /fixmbr

bootrec /fixboot

Remove the Rescue CD and try rebooting the notebook.

Regards,

DP-K

Hello All,

I just wanted to thank David as well. I went through many options, before I found this website. I tried David's solution, and booya! It was fixed. Thank you very much for your efforts, and for helping others out.

I love the computer community. I truly do!

after inserting the disk, is there something that I need to press in order to actually reboot the computer? Because I am inserting the disk and restarting my computer but nothing is happening.

I can help you with that, but follow David's instructions after your machine boots to the repair DVD.

 With the computer "ON" (booted up) open the DVD drawer, leave it open and shut down.

 Insert your disc and close the drawer.

 Boot up and start immediately tapping the f9 key, you may stop when you get a message on the bottom left of the screen that says change boot order or something to that effect.

 Use your arrow and enter keys to select to boot from Internal DVD/CD ROM and press enter.

 Ay this point you may be confronted to press any key to continue to boot, continue to do so.

 That's it

I get this black screen with blinking cursor ONLY when I set the bios boot option to USB. With multibay or harddrive booting, I don't get the black screen. Check/reconfigure your boot options?

also.... only with a usb device inserted.  Hope this helps.
