Complex BSOD/repair problem

[acronbsod]

Okay im not sure what is going on but I am getting a stop 0x0000007b BSOD and when I go into my windows 7 installation CD to a command prompt it says under bootrec /scanos that my total windows installations are 0.

I have tried looking up people that have similar problems but I can't get anywhere following what happened to them.

I have windows 7 ultimate X86 retail

age of system and installation >1yr

Info on the STOP 0x7B error: BSOD Index
This is usually either a hard drive or a boot issue.

Please start by running these bootable hardware diagnostics:
Memory Diagnostics (read the details at the link)
HD Diagnostic (read the details at the link)

Yes I know this. Also my windows 7 repair CD recognizes that I have a windows 7 installation but my bootrec says I have 0 windows installations.

I am running those tests now and will update when I am finished.

memory and HD passed inspection. malware i couldnt do because they were WEB tools and I can't get into windows.

If anyone else can help me please let me know. This probably has something to do with the boot.

if it helps at all the BSOD comes up right in the middle of the windows logo coming up

wait a sec. I just checked the HD test and it says invalid opcode at 000b 0000 0482 086f 025d 0702 0702 0a83 0cee 2132 0000 0000 0000

I am looking this up now to see what to do.

 

[acronbsod]

yeah I have no idea what to do now :/

Invalid opcode is common in the Seatools test, don't worry about it. Try the Hitachi Drive Fitness test instead.
Do you know what make your hard drive is?

I already did startup repair with my windows 7 install disc. It said it couldn't fix the problem. I think I need to rebuild the bootrec or something but when I typed that option into the command prompt it says it does not recognize any installations of windows even though my install disc does.

I'd post over in the General Discussion forums for assistance with that: General Discussion - Windows 7 Forums

It may be time for a re-install of the OS at this point...

 

[acronbsod]

if I could get a reason WHY i need to do that then I would. from what I can see it is some error in the boot sector that is not recognising windows. I have seen people re-write it and get things working but I dont know how.

Personally, after what you have already tried, with our best expert in BSOD analysis, I would be more interested in a stable, working OS.. A clean format/installation would be my next step .... however, its your call... Good luck with your problem..

 

[acronbsod]

yeah I just wish I could take all my installed programs with me because I dont have the original disks where I am
