I have a most curious problem...
I got into work today, turned on my laptop and started going through my emails... (in Vista)
Suddenly, the laptop froze (which never happens)... so I held the power button for 10 seconds, restarted and now it wont boot. I get apples grey screen, followed by the "select the partition to boot from screen" and then nada... Choosing windows boots to a black screen...
Choosing osx boots fine...
So, this may seem like the windows partition go corrupt... not problem I keep backups of everything... Pop in the vista disk, boot off the Vista disk... and I get the same black screen!
Short of formatting the HD... any ideas?
(I've tried flashing the PR ram, which seemed to be apple's fix-it-all solution a while back...)

Cluster accounting failed at 40364588 (0x267ea2c): missing cluster in $Bitmap
Cluster accounting failed at 40364589 (0x267ea2d): missing cluster in $Bitmap
Totally 2049 cluster accounting mismatches.
ERROR: Filesystem check failed! Windows wasn't shutdown properly or inconsistent
While trying to make an image of that partition, I got a few errors... now, to resolve that all I need to do is run checkdisk... problem is, as I can't boot off the CD I can't run checkdisk... ideas?
