Indeed it's a bad driver.
Do you still have the original DISK1 attached to system? Otherwise attach it to system. Now run "device manager" and open branch "IDE ATA/ATAPI-controllers" . What do you see?
If it is a non microsoft driver (for example intel):
Now you see your current driver and the "Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA controller". Select the "Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA controller" and click Next. Follow on screen instructions. Does it stick after reboot and is system working?
- rightclick ->upgrade driver
- find on computer
- pick from list
- put a checkmark at "display compatible hardware"
Problem has nothing to do with bootmgr, bootmenu, primary/active at all.
Windows7 boots but crashes
