My Windows 7 just took a dump

On my iMac, it just sits on the Windows 7 screen and doesn't go past it.

It sure must smell... Kind of like when I play Canabalt.

Anyways, try restarting, if you already did, I'd repair the install via the install disk.

Yeah that's what I'm going to do next, otherwise I'm going to blank it out and re-install.

Yep, best bet is a new install (After you have tried repairing or restore), although it does suck.

You could try one last thing before reinstalling: hold down the F8 key when you boot into Windows, until you get a screen that allows you to select the start-up mode. Try Safe Mode first and see if it boots up. If not, you will definitely need to reinstall. If it boots, let Windows sit and sort itself out for a few minutes and try a restart without F8. On occasion, this will correct the problem. Otherwise, a reinstall is probably a better use of your time.....

Yeah its working now. I just went into Safe Mode and it said something about failed to update windows - reverting back after shutdown.
