Hi All,

Im very new to this but need help or advise. I have a HP pavilion desktop pc bought about a year ago it has worked just fine until about 4 days ago when i first off got the blue screen to check for problems i restared the machine and it started up fine however the next time i power on and off again it boots to the windows please wait then screen stays on black screen with the curser and just sits there. I have tried to start in safe mode to see if i could run adaware and or other spyware removal tools but when trying to use safe mode i get the same black screen. I have gone to the F8 options and run a repair whcih came back with the following errors:

System Volume Corrupt

The file or directory/Program Files/common Files is corrupt & unreadable

run the chkdsk utility.

Also before this i went in and changed the boot sequence to boot form the HDD? not sure if that may have cause it to throw up the errors above.

Now i ran a hardware test and all came back with green ticks stating no problems.

When i bought the pc i was not supplied with the windows Vista recoverycd and updon calling HP was told i would have to BUY it. which i wont do if i can fix it myself. Can anyone please give advise on anything i can try.

My son uses this pc for WOW everyday and if i can help it and not loose the data on this machine i will.

Thanks in advance=)

just had a very similiar problem like this with my Vista 64. A brand new computer... black screen and cursor on bootup. While I didn't get the sytems error like you, I could not even get to safe mode or F8. with no recovery disk provided, I downloaded the recovery iso only to find out my BIOS would not boot to the CD drive, it didn't even recognize the CD on bootup... grrr. I finally got it up and running after unplugging the USB to my external HDD and printer. Tech support had me reinstall Vista so it would "find" the CD drive on bootup. It must have been trying to bootup from my external HDD. I've changed the bootup order and I believe it now boots 1st from my CD, but this RAID stuff has got me somewhat confused, you may see the same in your BIOS... mine is:

1. RAID dsk00 568mbs
2. RAID dsk02 DVD

I assume #2 is the CD. I've never seen an optical drive as "RAID"

The steps i described will not affect your files. For your information, Microsoft is going to stop official technical support for xp by this October unless you paid for that.
