from wikipedia:ohh ic...is there a performance difference between AHCI/comparability ?
Some operating systems, notably Windows Vista and Windows 7, do not configure themselves to load the AHCI driver upon boot if the drive controller was not in AHCI mode at the time of installation. This can cause failure to boot with an error message if the SATA controller is later switched to AHCI mode. For this reason, Intel recommends changing the drive controller to AHCI or RAID before installing an operating system.
Did you change SATA settings to AHCI after installing windows? And that causes the boot failure.
===============
AHCI is separate from the SATA 3Gb/s standard, although it exposes SATA's advanced capabilities (such as hot swapping and native command queuing) such that host systems can utilize them.
Advanced Host Controller Interface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
See also Native Command Queuing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AHCI is default on on most machines! Don't know exactly what performance gain is. Only diskperformance gain if your disk is on heavy load with a lot of applications
With the popularity of drive racks, AHCI is likely default due to convenience of hot-swapping. You can Safely Remove the HD just like an external.
Can you report back on the HD Drive test.nah...toshiba complains and gives the bsod again
I have done those two commands. Here are the results:
"bootsect {/help|/nt60|/nt52} {SYS|ALL|<DriveLetter>:} [/force] [/mbr]
Boot sector restoration tool
Bootsect.exe updates the master boot code for hard disk partitions in order to
switch between BOOTMGR and NTLDR. You can use this tool to restore the boot
sector on your computer.
Run "bootsect /help" for detailed usage instructions."
And I too have the boot order devices correct.

Command should be
I put more spaces in commands for visibility. Only one space is neededCode:E:\boot\bootsect /nt60 E: /force /mbr E:\boot\bootsect /nt60 E: /force
