Everytime I boot into windows I get this error

Problem signature:
Problem event name: startuprepairoffline
Problem signature 01: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem signature 02: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem signature 03: unknown
Problem signature 04: 21200558
Problem signature 05: autoFailover
Problem signature 06: 8
Problem signature 07: BadDriver
Os version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033




Ok that's what the error msg tells me but I think it makes it clear on a bad drive. Is that correct?

No, it says bad driver. What error codes are given on the Blue Screen and do any cite a specific driver?

If you haven't already, try forcing Windows to boot into safe mode (press F8 before Windows starts to load).
I've never seen the startuprepairoffline error before but I would assume that it's having trouble booting startup repair, probably because it detected some error in the past and is trying to run startup repair to fix the problem.
Maybe if you can boot into safe mode, get to your desktop and reboot, Windows will stop trying to fix itself.

In another instance, I was dealing with a laptop that would only boot up to startup repair, no matter what I tried.
In that case, the fix was rewriting the MBR and boot configuration from the Windows disc, which then allowed the OS to find it's way to the proper partition.

If you have access to the Windows 7 DVD, you could also try running system restore from it to see if that solves the problem.
