Following your guide: Recovering the Windows Bootloader from the DVD - EasyBCD - NeoSmart Technologies Wiki and have made it through Option #1 (3 times) in the windows recovery essentials and my HP Windows 7 machine still will not boot. It makes it up until Starting Windows then immediately gets the "blue screen of death". Unfortunately, I tried to progress to Option #2 and I can't proceed as the Keyboard doesn't appear to work (mouse works). Help! The problem started when I installed the new version of Norton Utilities and did a defrag on the registry. When the system re-booted it would it made it to Starting Windows then immediately got the "blue screen of death"...
