Can you post full details of the stopcode? May be a hardware prob.Think in your situation i would try to create a new partition on your drive and clean install Windows there

Software could also be used to try to repair MBR
Once you have Windows installed remove old Windows and backup!
If Installation fails you know it's hardware...
