I'm having trouble with my computer not booting and was wondering if someone would be able to help. I have a laptop that was working fine yesterday morning: Acer Aspire5742z 64 bit. I partitioned the hard drive and installed Windows 7 in the first partition and Linux in 3 other partitions: / /home and swap. After I installed Windows everything seemed ok and I did some updates and shut things down. I latter installed CrunchBang Waldorf. The Linux install didn't go well: I couldn't use any of the menu to access anything in CrunchBang, all I got was "failed to execute child process (input/output error). I rebooted and the computer died. I can't boot into either OS, I can't even boot the System Recovery CD that I have.
I'm hoping someone will have some incite into this. I don't know how much is hardware or software related. I installed Grub in the MBR. I don't know if that would cause the problem. Thanks for any help.
