I followed the tutorial on this site for scannow. When completed (no errors), I typed exit at the command prompt. I have only a blank screen with functioning mouse pointer. When restarting I get the hp logo, then the windows "please wait" icon for about one second then it goes black. I originally cloned windows from my sea gate 1Tb hhd to the toshiba ssd. I can boot from the hhd with no issues. Just won't boot from ssd. I would run the recovery disc but it claims I need 140 Gb to do so and I only have 128Gb. Any help is much appreciated

As an added note, I am able to open task manager from the blank screen. But I do not know what to do from here

From the black screen:

control alt delete to bring up task manager

choose "file"

"run new task"

type explorer.exe <enter>

This opens windows in safe mode. Go into advance settings, troubleshoot and restart. worked for me
