Power failure during repair: Laptop not booting
Boggin:
Hmm...
Can you boot up with the USB again and navigate to the options for Startup Repair.
I don't have much faith in this but give it a try to see what it reports.
You can run this up to three times if at first unsuccessful.

Was away, but after 4 attempts Startup Repair could not fix the issue...
Boggin:
Now that you can use a cmd prompt, enter bcdedit |find "osdevice" then enter chkdsk x: /f where x is your partition letter and see what that reports.
That is a Pipe symbol before find and is the uppercase of \
When the chkdsk completes, ignore the error 50 as that just means it is unable to create a wininit log in Event Viewer.
amf:
OK, Hope I did everything correct? See images please:
Boggin:
In the first pic you have made a typo - it should be bcdedit - you've entered bcedit but the rest look alarming.
Run the bcdedit |find "osdevice" cmd again and if it still gives the partition letter as C:, run chkdsk c: /r this time.
