Black screen if booting Windows or from Windows Install DVD
Hi,
I had a working Windows 7 x64 Pro Boot Camp setup until recently. Now, when I attempt to boot from the Statup Manager, I can select the Windows partition but it simply sits at a black screen indefinitely. I attempted to set the Windows partition as the Startup Disk from the System Preferences, but it doesn't appear. I've attempted to boot from the Windows 7 Installation DVD in order to perform a Windows Startup Repair, but that black screens in the same manner as the Windows partition.
Here's the result of sudo gpt -r -vv show disk3 on the relevant disk:
gpt show: disk3: mediasize=500107862016; sectorsize=512; blocks=976773168
gpt show: disk3: Suspicious MBR at sector 0

So far as I can tell, this means my hybrid MBR setup is intact, but I could be wrong. I should point out that this drive doesn't actually contain a bootable OS X partition, which exists on a completely separate drive and boots just fine.
Anyone able to assist?
