OK, questolo, I was able to open the smitrem folder and I ran the file: RunThis.bat I'm not sure the file was able to run in its entirity---the disk cleaner never seemed to finish. I ran and reran the program a few times. When I rebooted into normal mode, at one point, a black screen with white letters came up with the following:
NTLDR is missing
press any key to restart
Pressing any key just kept scrolling the above message. The message did go away, however.
Again, I rebooted in the normal mode, and this time a blank, blue screen with no icons, start button, etc. appeared. This is not the same shade of blue as a typical BSOD and there was no message.
Here are the latest HJT & smitfiles scans:
