Hello all! I just recently joined with the hopes of solving my problem. I just got back from school for Thanksgiving break. I brought my PC home with me (i7 3770k, GTX 760, Samsung 840 Pro, 1 TB HDD, Windows 7 Ult, Gigabyte Z77 UD3H, 2x GSkill 16 GB kit). As soon as I logged into windows from home, I start Chrome. I get a BSOD with stop code BAD_POOL_CALLER. I restart and Windows goes right to CHKDSK. Gets through that and restarts. BSOD again after login. So I try system restore. System restore failed for some unknown reason. I keep an image on my HDD, so I go into windows repair tools. Restore from image fails after a memory allocation error. So now I figure the RAM may have gotten jarred in the car. I reseat the RAM, but I know from previous experience that if an image restore fails, you can kiss your current OS goodbye as the partition is fragmented. Sure enough, the BIOS does not see an OS, and my system repair disc is at school 3 hours away. So I make a bootable USB for windows 7 Ult. 64 and boot to that in an attempt to use system repair tools from that to try and restore the image to the SSD. But I get the "Incompatible System Repair Tools" error. I really don't want to do a clean install because I don't have my driver disks with me and my home internet is *extremely* slow. Any suggestions on how I can get my USB or some other kind of media to give me viable system repair tools? Thanks!

One thing that I can think of is using Hirens Boot CD. It comes with a WinPE "Mini Windows XP" as well as dozens of other tools. Using the XP provided, you may be able to get into your files and drag out what you want to save, even going so far as to shrink the drive and create a space just for that reason, to save as much as you can. You never know, something on the boot CD might even help you to repair the broken install/image. I've never used it for that purpose, but I do believe there are recovery options that fit along those lines.

Hope this helps

Update: I was able to get to the system repair tools using a different Windows disc. However, now I get unspecified error 0x80004005 when I try to restore the image.
