Windows 7 SP1

[Wurmer]

Ok this is weird folks! Yesterday I have updated my windows 7 setup with the SP1 after ward, my computer simply refuses to start. It does boot the BIOS screen, I can hear the normal Beep, I see my hardware listed than I see the BIOS screen again than black screen with the flashing prompt and that's it. This is the first time I see something like this over many many many windows updated.

check your boot devices or even you hard drive boot priority and see if your main drive got bumped

Well finally, I got it fixed. I used the Windows 7 DvD and the repair fonction. Now everything seems to be working fine but still this is weird. I have never experienced something like this before.

Sounds more like there was a Windows update for a device driver that made it screw up.

I kind of doubt that seeing as I have put it on multiple machines at work that I had not even put in our key into yet. So it goes on fine without even having a key entered.

like i said before, wait a bit for the waves of 'omg its not working!!!' to come about

glad you got it going. how long did the repair take? usually i get bored and do a fresh install

it only took a few minutes, that was really quick BTW, I have the original genuine none OEM Key for my windows 7. So like someone said, must have been a driver issue or some such.
