That's why I said to run chkdsk specifically "chkdsk c: /f" that goes through and repairs bad sectors and has fixed many boot issues for me.
The reason I said check in the bios everything about the hdd is because he said it wasn't recognized in the recovery console and the bios screwing up a setting is usually the culprit of that.
