Alright, I left the settings as I originally found them (set OS drive to Active, and set Recovery drive to Inactive and Hidden), and started the first Startup Repair run.
The "unknown" drive was actually my Windows 7 installation dongle I made. I must be more frazzled than I thought...
With System Repair you mean Startup Repair ?
Did chkdsk fix many errors? Do this again from recovery environment->command prompt:
no errors anymore?Code:chkdsk/f c: chkdsk/f d:
dir c:\users
dir d:\users
Is the OS disk called C or D in recovery environment?
I'll run chkdsk again if the triple Startup Repair doesn't do the trick, but it was running extremely slowly right before I made that Partition Wizard disc (about 1.5 files in the index per minute).
unmountable boot error 0x000000ED
chkdsk very slow (correct?) . I think your disk is dying. Do you have a backup already? Make it using Macrium Reflect Free for example. Imaging with free Macrium
Take the winpe version and burn the ISO. Boot from the DVD
First Startup Repair run completed, all error codes at 0x0, root cause is stated as "unspecified changes to system configuration".
Starting the second run.
