Hi there bhmarks,

You have no data on the drive right? If this is the case, you can just use the clean command and reinstall Windows.
You can do that the following way:
- Once you are in Windows setup press shift+F10 to bring up the command line.
- diskpart [enter]
- list disk [enter]
- select drive [number] [enter]
- clean all [enter] * see note below
- create partition primary [enter]
- select partition 1 [enter]
- active [enter]
- format fs=ntfs [enter] ** see note
- assign [enter]
- exit [enter]
- exit [enter]

In case you have some data on the drive, you can try to rebuild the boot configuration data: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2622803?wa=wsignin1.0

Hope this will help,
