It obviously doesn't work since you can't mount your NTFS parition.

Not necessarily, Windows normally does a a blink or two during the boot process
while it is loading drivers.
It is not only loading of the video driver that creates a blink, you'll get one when loading the desktop among others.
So it can be any driver/program loaded during boot that causes his blinks.
Most likely Windows is continously trying to load something which fails.
Since the Windows partition was not shut down properly it is prolly a file system corruption.

can i boot in safe mode and do a system restore and will that work?

Ubuntu Forums - View Single Post - [ubuntu] Unable to mount NTFS, tried force mount

Hiren and Pankaj's Homepage » www.hiren.info

[ubuntu] Unable to mount NTFS, tried force mount - Ubuntu Forums

TestDisk - CGSecurity

All that info an information about utilities too fix your disk there in one thread.


I don't know why anybody tries to help you when you don't try to help yourself.

actually, couple of days ago, came into the computer room in the morning and the dog had got in and pulled the plug out.

when i tried to boot, i was getting some message about voltage and the monitor wouldn't turn on at all.....

i fucked around a bit and hit a few things and replugged everything in and then it worked.

maybe something happened then??

Especially since there aren't any greens to be had for it

Hiren's boot CD with repair utilities is a good tool..

No your not.

Your wanting somebody to give you the answer. That is not helping yourself.

Already shown that there are hundreds of threads with people with the same problem and yet you can't be bothered to sit and read through them to see if your problem has been fixed or arisen with others.

You're a leech. ubuntu is about the community. People helping each other and learning how to use the software. Why is has such a huge forum with nearly every answer you could need.

As I said - noob - a person who is new and refuses to help themselves.

^
it's good for people with similar problems to see a thread of this kind.

good for the forum and good for the posters.

So did you fiddle with the monitor video cable at that time?
Are the connectors ok, all pins intact?

Windows may be in a state where it is trying to detect what kind of monitor you have but can't do it since a pin is broken..

^

So why don't you solve your problem, by reading the relevant threads and then posting the solution here?

That would be more beneficial for the forum and yourself

pulled all the conectors out.

fiddled with the ram sticks and other bit inside the box too.

just done a search on the forums for corrupt windows drivers.

none of the threads are the same as my problem.

Or bent and shorting out against another pin.

I believe it is working under Ubuntu though which is using the same monitor. Or does he now have a whole separate computer?

What corrupt windows driver? What has that got to do with mounting your NTFS drive to access it so you don't have to boot into windows?
