If the above does not work, then try what I did. Boot off your Windows install disc, go to repair, & get to the command prompt. navigate to C:\windows\system32 and then rename utilman.exe to utilman.old
After that, rename cmd.exe to utilman.exe
Now, boot into Windows, and at your Black screen with the cursor now use the Key Combo [Windows Key] + and instead of bringing up the Accessibility Options, you'll get your command prompt. I hope this helps
Another try at MBR fix
To fix your mbr, boot from your windows 7 dvd, choose your language, time and keyboard input.
Click "repair computer"
Choose "command prompt"
Type: "bootsect /nt60 ALL" (without quotes )
Reboot
Edit: hit "del" to enter your bios to set your dvd as primary boot

I really appreciate your HELP here... I will try this too...
For now, need do some DISK CHECKING utilites and reset the MBR AGAIN using this utility...
http://www.partitionwizard.com/help/rebuild-mbr.html
I will also run a what changed program and post it here for you guys too...
I know, it matters, what changed :)
This problem will be found and we will find through this solution the all/to FIX for any BLACK SCREEN SYSTEM, and for any version!
One issue, maybe cause we had to do a xcopy of the old SAM files, it may cause of a userid issue to protect my data...
however, running the code on the other webpage should have fixed that issue. but it should bring uip a prompt to verify who I am!
at least... "don't you think so?"
The Winlogin Code is/was Corrupt,
also, only copying the SAM file should have brought me back too "BUT"

Hi, Rick, Have you got the installation cd.. Then mbr fix at the command prompt bootsect /nt60ALL will certainly help you. This is the solution, i came across surfing the net.

A repair install would allow you to keep all your programs and settings, BUT you need to be able to get into windows to do the repair install.

yes, seems bad sectors is an issue; HAR DISK FAILURE anyone?
will run this method:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system/smart-failure-predicted-on-hard-disk-2/7fbab34f-59ce-4780-80cc-e74186b54406
I will try http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html
will use their suface test scanner
reset the MBR Code,
see if it has some program to scan the drive and fix something... While it is running, I will go to BUY A NEW Hard drive, then use xxcopy and minitool is in my mind now...
I need this system back, we won't give up easily!
and, I won't buy MS8 either "no chance" , why I should when when so many problems with vista unexplained!
thank god for tweakers!

I think the overall candidate goes to read/write errors in the policies section, somehow, a virus has corrupted this issue...
Shane:
Bad sectors can be a nightmare.
Get a new drive, get a free drive cloning tool and clone your drive to the new one. Keep the old bad one just in case you need another image of it.
Have chkdsk try to repair any errors it finds, it will try to read and move data out of the bad sectors.
Then once on the new drive and no more bad sectors we can try to do some repairs and see if Windows will come back up. Depends what was lost on those bad sectors. But since you have a reg backup you should be able to get it back up and going. :-)
