iMAC - Win7 Blinking Cursor

 What

iMAC - Win7 Blinking Cursor

 Problem

When starting an iMAC that normally boots in to Windows, doesn't boot but shows a blinking cursor an a black screen.

 Solution

The problem is that Windows boot is corrupt, we need to fix this by booting from a windows 7 installation or repair CD:

1. Put the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start your computer.
2. Press a key when you are prompted.
3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then
4. Click Next.
5. Click Repair your computer.
6. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
7. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.

Type the following commands:
     Bootrec.exe /FixMbr
     Bootrec.exe /FixBoot
     Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd

*Restart your computer.*

Windows is now booting like nothing happend..
