As you can tell however, it's Hayward 1 - Microsoft 0!!!!

Obviously too late, now, but I'd recommend downloading a Linux distribution and keeping it around on a USB drive (something like http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows). When things go wrong, you can boot to the USB, let it figure out your network and stuff, and get access to your hard drive.
It's not everybody's cup of tea for day-to-day work (though I've only had a couple of problems with Ubuntu), but for "crap, my PC's dead!" situations, it can keep you afloat until you can pull together a more permanent solution. A couple of years ago, I worked exclusively off a USB drive this way for a couple of months until I found a good replacement machine.

True.
I ran 'Mint' off a USB stick when the exact same thing happened to me. Saved my bacon.
