All ideas and suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
Same in safe mode?

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time things worked and the time they didn't?

Answering that question is mainly to keep you from repeating the same thing after you get this sorted and winding up in the same pickle. At this point since you can't get into Windows in any form, your next step is to do a Repair Install. If the Repair Install doesn't work then I'm sorry, but you will need to Clean Install Windows. If you neglected to back up data, it can be retrieved even if you can't boot into Windows (as long as the hard drive is viable). Let me know if you need instructions to do that.
