I have an HP Pavilion A6400f, Core 2 E2200, with 8GB RAM. For the second time, making a change to the BIOS has caused the less than stellar error message the Windows did not start normally. I got the options to repair Windows or to start normally. The automatic repair runs for twenty minutes or so and accomplishes nothing. The last time this happened I had to completely reinstall Win 7 Pro since there appears to be no Repair Installation option any more. Trying to use a restore point doesn't work.
What now? The HDD is fairly new. The first time this happened I upgraded the BIOS from 5.13 to 5.43. This time all I did was try to change the drive from RAID to AHCI. Restoring the drive to RAID did no good.
