It's impossible to say exactly what was corrupted. You might be lucky and have the corruption limited to Windows system files - in which case the Windows repair install will fix it - but it could have also corrupted some of your mame data.
I would recommend finding a copy of SpinRite and running that. It can take 20+ hours to run, but will attempt to recover data even from bad sectors at a very low level on the hard drive...

Apparently, there are a lot of success stories from IT pros and it has been under development for the past 16 years.

I had blue screens of death on my latest project, together with random shutdowns etc. It was a brand new Mini ATX and it turned out to be something really simple. I was using the U360 without a powered hub (connected directly to USB on the PC). The U360 registered fine in Windows, and worked fine in the Ultimarc programming software. But in Mame it wasn't responding. Plus I was having these really irksome reset problems with BSOD. A powered hub sorted all this out in one go! All runs sweet as a nut after that. :cheers:

A STOP 0x000000ED is an UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297185 describes this STOP code.
What is the second hexadecimal number in parentheses? That tells you the 'reason' for this crash.
My suggestion would be:
1. Remove the hard drive from this computer.
2. Mount this hard drive as a secondary hard drive in another computer running Windows
3. Back up any data you want to keep
4. Run chkdsk /f on this filesystem
5. Put the drive back in the machine and see if it boots.

Finally got my hard drive cables and began the cloning operation over the weekend. Started on Saturday around 4pm and its STILL RUNNING. The timer claimed another 5 days was in the works last night. I'm using that Acronis software. Is it really supposed to take that long? Seems like a reallly long time, but it is running and appears to be working as far as I can tell.
