OK I'm at my wits end on this.
After installing an update to my Laptop the machine won't boot. Well not
quite anyway. It goes through post and then stops at a blinking curser
on a blank black screen. So I built a slipstream recovery disk with
the proper drivers on it and then attempted all manner of recovery. I
rebuilt boot.ini. Still no boot. I rebuilt the boot sector, no boot.
I rewrote the mbr, no boot. I did a full repair of windows. (Did I
mention the drive tests out as just ducky?), no boot. I reinstalled
windows preserving drivers, laptop restarts no boot. Now here's the
salient issue. I'm using it right now. On startup the laptop gives the
option for a one time boot menu, which includes all attached bootable
devices, including the internal harddrive. Just for laughs selected the
that drive and it boots! WTF. Now I know this isn't a tech forum but
heck, I've tried all of the ones I usually frequent and no one has a
solution to this. This is causing me to tear out what's left of my hair
and I don't want to look like Cotty.

Don't lose heart, they might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthly search.
