My solution and its not the same for everyone I'm sure.
This solved it for me. Mine actually started with a missing or corrupt
winload.exe. After repairing that. I had the black screen with a
moveable cursor nothing else worked. chkdsk /r fixes all kinds of XP
probs so I tried it. Went through a LOAD of screens, took a couple
hours. After this ran is when the blank screen issue started. I could
see my hard drive going like crazy when I would get to that point so I
knew it was TRYING at least.
Solution for me.
I loaded vista onto another drive I had then booted up and took a look
at the other drive. When I double clicked it I had no permissions. I
right clicked, when into security and took ownership of everything then
I went into the permissions and added the everyone group with full
permissions and let it run. Took about 30 mins or so but I have 240 gigs
of stuff on there. After that unplugged the new drive, restarted and
viola. HOpe that helps someone. If you need help with permissions etc
that should be easy enough to google. If you think it's dumb to require
some additional hardware then you haven't worked on computers enough.
Having a spare hard drive, ram etc is the same as having a screwdriver
and hammer around the house.
