Did you really type it exactly (i added a few more spaces to clarify)???

Code:

sfc       /SCANNOW      /OFFBOOTDIR=c:\     /OFFWINDIR=c:\windows

Yup i typed it exactly as it appears. I even tried typing just "sfc /scannow", that returns a message stating:

There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. Restart Windows and run SFC again.

Does the working directory matter? at the moment its on X:\Sources

In that recovery environment -> command prompt window:

dir c:\
dir d:\
dir e:\


diskpart
list vol
exit


What drive letter has win7 partition in the listing?

diskpart
select vol c
detail part
select vol d
detail part
select vol e
detail part
exit


Which partition has: "Active: Yes"?

This is abit puzzling...First off, the partition marked with a star is the one with windows installed on it right? If so, its the drive F.

See I have 3 internal drives in it. Under diskpart, the main one (marked with the star?) 1TB is F, an extra 1TB drive marked E, and my old main drive which i wiped & now use for media storage. However, this old drive is under the letter C, while the main drive with windows has the letter F, is this supposed to happen??

Also with this, both the C & F drives are marked as the active drives, another problem?

Also try Advanced Boot Options =>Disable Automatic Restart on System Failure. Then boot. What blue screen of death? stopcode and dll,exe, sys file (if listed) please.

I get the blue screen of death. The stop code given is 0x0000007B, with a bunch of other codes.

This is the main reason. Stop all other troubleshooting for now. You resetted the BIOS did you?
The bios sata is in ahci mode now? in windows it's IDE.
Or vice versa?

Did you have ahci enabled in win7 (and bios)?

I checked the Bios settings earlier & I just confirmed again, all Sata ports are set to IDE mode

In win7 it was IDE as well????? I don't think so.

Put relevant sata settings to AHCI .... just as they were before resetting.

Brilliant work, computer is booting as I type this! Funny though, I dont recall ever enabling AHCI on windows before., I'd read about changing to IDE from AHCI so i figured that IDE was the default.

Thanks again :)

Scan took a while, plus everything suddenly wanted to update. Funny how much you fall back on in 2 weeks.

Here's a screenshot of the disk management attached, as well as the CBS logs from SFC.

Any way I can hide the E drive? It is now displayed on "My Computer", would rather avoid any chance of someone messing with it.
