Ok peoples, another update.


@Ahtsan- yes, I too am unable to boot using any of the boot options. I tried safe, safe with networking, safe with dos prompt and so on. I also tried to boot with the error logging to see if i could capture something but all have the same result - the lovely black screen as per your original post.


I was wondering if i could get an older copy of the APPLESSD.SYS and pop it onto my USB stick in the folder where the 'broken' copy resides, that it would then be installed as part of the process. There is no way to add the file later using safe mode as Lone T suggests as you simply can't even get that far to do that.


So....I have tried the option to disable the file signature checking, again as per Lone T's suggestion but I get the BSOD! It was flicking up so quickly, I had to resort to videoing the boot up after selecting the option. I have taken a pic of the frame with the BSOD error, shown below. As you can see, its that pesky APPLESSD.SYS file again 😟

Any ideas people? I may go back to Apple and ask them about dropping support for Windows 7 under Bootcamp 😝

Can you look in Bootcamp.xml and find this section and post a similar section?
