When in the boot process does it go black, before the Windows logo? And what type of cursor?

Have you changed your drive configuration or tried to install another OS?

Have you changed your video configuration, like card or connection to the monitor?

Was your upgrade a custom/clean install or an upgrade over Vista?

You may find info if you search for black screen with cursor.

try this

boot pc

hold F8

select safemode with command prompt

in the box type

sfc /scannnow

once completed

bootrec.exe /fixmbr

bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd

once this has done

chkdsk /f /r

the pc wil have to reboot to check the disk but hopefully if its the MBR or masterboot record it will be repaired by the above commands

let me no how it goes
