I upgraded my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit to Windows 8 Pro 64-bit using the DVD I burned from the ISO created from the MS official website. I have been running Win7 on a Intel based hardware Raid 5 disk with no problems. The install went fine and all worked well for several days until I used CCleaner (v3.24.1850) to remove some temp files and clean the registry. I used the CCleaner default settings when I ran the application.
Now when I boot the PC, it starts the boot process but hangs, with a black screen and a flashing white cursor in the upper left corner.
If I put in the Windows 8 install disk in my DVD drive, I am asked if I want to boot from it but I do not press any key, eventually Windows boots from my Raid drive. If I don’t put in the Win8 install disk, the PC hangs. I can also put in my Acronis boot disk and the PC will automaticly boot using the Raid drive if I do nothing. But it will not boot from the Raid without one of those disks being present in the DVD drive.
I tried running Windows 8 repair but that did not fix the problem. I also ran a system restore but that did not fix the problem.
Would this have anything to do with the way Windows 8 shuts down and restarts? I understand that in the shutdown process, Windows 8, creates a temp file that is used to speed up the start up process. Could CCleaner have delted that file, there by creating this problem?
Help please; any advice would be greatly appreciated. [FONT=&][/FONT]
