I haven't read all the other advice, but based on the first post I would buy a second hard drive, & temporarily remove the original one. Next, run a fresh install of Windows on the new drive. Plug in the old drive as a secondary, and move your data over.

If your MB and/or previous HDD were bad it could have cause corruption in some core Windows files. This is the cheapest and quickest way to get it back to a working state without losing your data.
