Windows 7 is not booting, i can only see black screen with blinking cursor!

[skbharadia]

hello there,

I had tripple boot MBP 13 inch model, n all three OSs were working great on the machine, but i wasn't using linux that much so decided to remove the partition and have only two - OS X n Windows 7, i removed the linux partition with Disk Utility, and firs time it didn;t go right, so i simply restarted the mac n did it again, and it went through fine.

Next time when i wanted to boot into Windows 7, surprisingly it only came up with black screen n a blinking cursor on left upper corner, i waited long, hoping to load the windows 7, but it didn't. N since then its bugging me.

I need to use some programs on windows, and i prefer to use windows natively via boot camp.

Can any one suggest, what could be the problem and how to sort this issue out?

Thanks

i guess thats your problem ---->rEFIt which needs to be installed when using linux via bootcamp and it alters the EFI and the MBR , so by just removing the linux partition you caused a bit of a chaos
removing rEFIt might sort your problem now if you are lucky ..but i doubt that

if unlucky a clean install of OSX and windows7 might be your only option and then just use your backups ,timemachine and whatever you used to backup windows..

Well, thats sounds bad, but i can boot MBp into mac, n it runs fine, its jst windows is not booting up.

So, is there no way i can get my windows back?
