...and no matter how many times I delete from registry, the mounted dosdevices\f: and it's corresponding volume, it reappears on reboot. I don't want this to cause issues because the f: drive is my old HDD that used to have Windows 7, but is removed from my laptop(via device manager) because it's dead. Is there a way to permanently get rid of this so windows boot manager/loader etc. doesn't "get confused" for lack of better words? Thanks.

Are you very sure you deleted those registry entries? Do it again and reboot.
They are back on reboot? Also the dosdevices/E?
Disk management shows the drive letters?
Elevated command prompt:

Code:

 
diskpart
list volumes
exit

Now reassign drive letters using disk management

Kaktussoft, I went to dinner and when I returned my computer was on an 0xF4 BSOD. I tried to reboot a bunch of times, but found out my SSD was not being recognized by the BIOS. I remembered how to "power cycle" my Crucial M4 SSD and an hour later it was recognized by BIOS and I was able to boot again. What happened? Anything I need to do/know? Thanks to anyone who helps.

BSOD 0xF4 is most likely due to SSD not accessible anymore. Do you remember event ID 9 "disk controller not responding" (or something like that) in event log?

Did you already make a full backup as told you before?
disk controller failed, ssd not connected firmly, sata cable failing, disk is dying.

"power cycle" my Crucial M4 SSD=> How did you do that?

Guess what.. I just looked and my restore points are Gone again. Why...

And 0x0f4 bsod again after I left pc idle for 15 minutes. When I returned, screen was blue and bottom middle of laptop was so hot to the touch.

SSD is dying! Or damaged sata cable. Or disk controller. Make a new threat for that cause original problem has been solved

If you run vssadmin list, the volume listed at top of mine, even though volume path doesn't show it, I tracked down, and it's "system reserved". Is that standard on yours also??
And does vssadmin list providers, Only show- Provider name: 'Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider 1.0'??

C:\Windows\system32>vssadmin list providers
vssadmin 1.1 - Opdrachtregelbeheerprogramma voor Volume Shadow Copy-service

your ssd is dying!
And I don't have "system reserved". But I think it's normal
