Files are Missing or Corrupt
Boggin:
If you can download it, there is a disk that will get you into Windows and it's the Hiren's Boot Disk -

Boot up with it and it will load Windows.
You could also see if the cmd chkdsk /f does anything for you.
Larbo:
For now, Hirens allowed me to export a copy of my Data drive to an external drive and export my data for itunes and Thunderbird, too. Thanks!!!
Now to decide if there is any chance of fixing Windows......
Boggin:
Can you run a cmd prompt as an admin and enter chkdsk /f to see what it reports.
Follow the prompts for a reboot for it to start.

Failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 50
Kinda looks like my 256GB SSD (c:\) looks ok?
Boggin:
Well it looks like chkdsk /f didn't find anything but that status 50 denotes a problem.
Can you enter this cmd and let me know what it reports -
chkdsk c: /r /f /v
You can copy & paste it to the prompt.
These are a list of repair steps for resolving that error -

If you can't get into Safe Mode by the normal method, then shut down and reboot - when the logo comes up power shut down.
Do that another twice but on the third one, let it run which should give you the advanced boot options.
