Hi all
downloaded windows 7 RC 32 and 64 bit versions.
I have dual booted the 32 bit one on my work pc and it is working fine :-) .
I took one of my drives into work and installed the 64 bit version on. Yer I know thats not ideal way of installing, in another PC but hey.....
Well I popped it in my home PC, booted and get a black screen. All I get is Winows RC and the build number in the bottom right.
I though I'd give it a reinstall as it only takes like 30 mins now :-) .
Same again after a reinstall...............GGrrr !!
I have just read that 7 does not seem to like some monitors. That seems a tad strange. All accounts I have read said as soon as they used a monitor that 7 did like and installed graphics drivers it was fine on any display they could throw at it.
Now I have swapped out back to my vista drive but I'll be popping the 7 one back in later and trying it on my LCD TV to see if I boot into 7 fine.
All seems very odd to me. Why should an OS care what screen I have since it was fine at displaying all the installation screens without issue.
Well I'll post back with my findings later folks.
Plus for the record my screen is AOC and my work one is DELL.

But seriously, ive had it happen to me a few times and like Singh pointed out it just requires a shutdown a brief breaka nd a start up to get on track again - but your problem sounds like a whole different kettle of fish.
