Q: Bootcamp boot -> black screen Blink cursor SOLVED!
Hi everybody!
After few days trying to solve this issue, I've finally solved it!
My problem was that after installing the Windows 7 64bits on a bootcamp partition, windows didn't boot, and only a black screen with a blinking cursos is shown on the iMac screen.
Finally I've found 3 commands that have solved the boot problem.
Turn on the iMac with the Windows 7 Installation Disc on SuperDrive or Windows 7 installation on the USB.
Press the Alt until the boot selector is shown.
Select the DVD/USB windows installation
Select your language and time bla bla bla.. click next.
After that, select Repair.
Then select the windows installation and click next,
After click on the last option from the menu to open a Prompt window.
Write and press enter after each sentence:
1- c:/Bootrec.exe /FixMbr
2- c:/Bootrec.exe /FixBoot
3- c:/Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd
Each command return a successfull message.
Close, and reboot!!
GOOD LUCK!
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Finally I've discovered that the only way to boot windows normally, without any problems is with the original DVD installation disk inside the SuperDrive, only need to be inside. Doesn't need to be running, or enter the recovery menu or whatelse... Then, the windows bootcamp partition loads perfect!!
Well, thanks for help!
Have fun!
