Wiondows boot stalls

I tried that but it just takes me to the same screen, the one with time / date and the startup picture. Plugged in a USB keyboard, on the theory that the bluetooth pairing got interrupted, but no go. This may be a pure Windows issue.

I wonder if I used the correct key to boot into safe mode. Itʻs F8, right? I think I was supposed to get an menu of boot options, but did not see that.

Reset SMC and NVRAM, then tried both of those key combos to boot in safe mode - no go. Everything takes me to the date / time / startup picture page, which I cannot exit unless I do a restart w/ the power button. The weird thing is that I tried to boot up w/ my Windows 7 install disk and that boot stalled at exactly the same point.

Here it is:

Removed Disk 0 and Disk 1 - same result. Booting from the Windows 7 CD does work up to a point, but just takes me to an installer for Windows 7.

Should I attempt to re-install Windows 7 through Bootcamp? Not sure if that will erase all data on the disk, or just replace the system.

I got to the installer screen w/ the repair option, ran repair, but not much got repaired. What I have done is to backup data, wipe disk and re-create the Bootcamp installation w/ the original Windows I CDs. I am only running a single program on the Windows side, so not much of an issue to re-install it. Thanks for all the help / suggestions!
