    Don't want to distract from the "interesting problem" angle this question might take, so just as acomment: Why didn't you just format and re-install Windows? Would have been a lot faster and less of a pain.

    I was gonna suggest the same thing as @Tobias. The hours you will spend trying to hunt down this error might be more than the time needed to set up a system again. Also, maybe have a look at my answer here in order to keep the system clean.

  • It would be nice if you could put the solution in an answer and accept it :)

  • @OliverSalzburg, he has 6 rep (1 auto and 1 Q↑) and has not been back for over a year. This was clearly a hit-and-run troubleshoot, so I don't think they'll be doing that.
