    Hi there,

    I have a massive problem with my Samsung RC530.
    A couple days ago I installed backtrack 5 and started
    either W.7 and backtrack through a bootloader.
    Worked fine until yesterday when the bootloader didn't load
    anymore and I couldn't start neither of the systems.
    The computer just started showed me the starting screen from
    Samsung (Press F2/F4) and then then changed to a black screen with
    a blinking cursor appearing from time to time and that was it.

    I tried to recover the laptop with the recovery partition which didn't work
    it just showed me the same black screen and the blinking cursor.
    So I used an old W.7 CD I have lying around and installed Windows again,
    but this can't be a permanent solution as I can't use the hotkeys anymore,
    my ethernet card isn't recognized etc.

    To summarize my bootloader ed up, I tried to reinstall W.7 with the recovery partition but it only showed a black screen and a blinking cursor from
    time to time.

    If anybody has an idea on how to access the recovery partition it would be much appreciated.

    Thanks a lot.
