Or you tried a Windows repair? Or maybe just reinstall windows w/o reformating.

EDIT: It was doing me the same thing this morning, was just some BIOS settings, try reseting the BIOS.

Put in another HDD and install windows on it, then put your other HDD in as a slave and transfer data that you want to keep.
