    Ok. I wish I would have posted this question months ago when I was still getting the actual error message when booting (corrupted .sys file I believe).  Unfortunately, I had to leave the area so I just bought a computer and moved on. I am trying to fix the problem now. I have a sysinternals and bartpe available to me.

    Let me know what you need (bootup beeps, exact response from boot, etc) and I will give you exactly what you want. My vista disk had issues when it came with the computer. I had to call the number on the disk and it magically worked. They said the disk had been used before and they magically made it work. I am having the same issue with the disk. I want to see if I can do this without needing to buy another OS.

    Right now, I am in BartPE and I ran chkdsk as read only (without the F option) because I didn't want to dig the hole deeper. It says a LOT of files are corrupted in C:

    For instance, it says
    Correcting error in index $I30 for file 987
    Correcting error in index $I30 for file 988
    Correcting error in index $I30 for file 1083
    Correcting error in index $I30 for file 1095
    Correcting error in index $I30 for file 1096
    Correcting error in index $I30 for file 1104
    Correcting error in index $I30 for file 1112
    etcetcetc..

    To add more info (I plan on adding more to help anyone willing to help me through this)

    When I boot up....
    1 beep...
    then I get the F8 menu/window option... I hit F8...

    I get

    Hard Disk-----
    Sata 1:  WDC WD1********
    Sata 2:  ST3320********

    Network 0: Nvidia Boot Agent 231.0528
    Network 1: 2-Nvidia Boot Agent 231.052

    When I click on Sata 1, it takes me to a screen that says Windows failed to start (something about possible hardware/software change)... then it starts Windows automatically...

    Then I get another screen back that says Status 0xc0000098" Windows failed to load because critical system driver is missing or corrupt.

    ... Maybe I overlooked this before. This is the file I was referring to that I thought was corrupted before:  fileinfo.sys
    It says it is corrputed when trying to go into safe mode or diagnostics mode
