BSOD after Itunes Update - Locale ID: 1033, Bad Driver - No Safe Mode

Yes... pretty much exactly the same thing as in normal boot. Booting up followed by BSOD.

How many times have you run startup repair? You may need to run it three times to fix any issues. It essentially does the same task as sfc /scannow as well as a few others.

The other thing to try is open the command prompt through the Repair your computer feature and find your windows drive.
You want to find the drive with Program Files, Users, and Windows on it.
Type C:
Type dir
Type D:
Type dir
Type E:
Type dir
etc. until you see the above three folders.

Once you find the drive (I'll assume it is C: or D: ) run chkdsk /r c: or chkdsk /r d:

I've tried a few times in a row. Each time I get the same message. Startup Repair can't fix the problem automatically.
Then it gives me the option to go to advanced, shut down, or restart.
As I said, I did this loop a few times, but can't seem to break out of it.

will try the chkdsk now...

If the chkdsk did not work, get into the advanced boot options menu with F8 again, and select the last known good configuration option.

chkdsk finds 5 bad sectors but can't write them to the log file because I had to unmount my c: drive in order to run chkdsk in the first place. I don't know if that makes a difference, but trying to boot after the chkdsk was done still resulted in the BSOD.

tried the last good known config yesterday already - no luck.

It is beginning to look like you will need to do a repair install

The only other thing to try before a repair install is restore the system restore point using System Restore OPTION TWO.
