Michael, search this newsgroup for Black Screen of Death. There's a ton
of information already posted here.


Well I found a Vista recovery CD at neosmart.net which I burnt.

I then did one more boot so that my boot manager would make the partition
with the dud copy of Vista active. I booted in safe mode and the boot
promptly worked. I was then able to boot normally - no need for the
recovery CD!
