Does it boot up ok? Do you get the login prompt? Maybe its just a password problem rather than a boot problem.

Hi Pete! Thanks for your assistance..At first I couldn't log on, because it didnt recognize my password, then it stated i had a boot problem and windows proceeded to fix errors, now i just get a flashing cursor on a black background.
