Blinking cursor on boot of Server 2008
We had an issue with a Dell Perc S200 raid controller which caused the raid array to fail. We have managed to recover the partitions and put on the the disk. When booting we get a blinking cursor on a blank screen. We have gone into the recover console and run
bootrec /fixmbr, then bootrec /fixboot, bootrec /rebuildbcd. This is all successful but it still does the same.
We then did a bcdedit c:\windows to point to the os - again the same.
Lasting we went into X:\sources\recovery\startu
Any suggestions on next steps?
