Hello, new member here, sorry to jump straight into my problem to need urgent help as I have work I need to access on my windows partition.
To the problem: I have absolutely no clue as to the cause, but directly after selecting windows 7 from my grub menu, I get stuck on a black screen with a flashing cursor in the upper left corner of the screen (like '_' found in terminal) I've tried leaving it like this for at least half an hour in hopes that it may load but no luck. Luckily I also have Ubuntu installed on a separate partition of the same harddrive (leading me to believe that it isn't a hardware fault) But when I try to access the windows partition from ubuntu I get the following error:
No idea what it means but seems something has gone wrong with the partition that Windows 7 is on.
This seemed to happen while I was away from the computer, I had left it running with Firefox open while I went downstairs to have dinner, upon my return I sound the Ubuntu logon screen displayed (ubuntu is default operating system to load from grub menu) So that about leaves me where I am now, trying to find a solution.
Not sure if it helps, but here are some specs:
Acer Aspire 5739G
Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 2.1GHz
Nvidia GeForce GT 130M
4GB RAM
360GB HDD
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium and Ubuntu 11.04
Any help is greatly appreciated and I hope you generous folk are able to help me fix this! Thanks!!
