Error code 7b refers to your hard drive and/or controller. Boot from Windows 7 DVD. Choose "Repair my PC" and get the command prompt: 

chkdsk /R c:

chkdsk /R d:

chkdsk /r E:

Then reboot.

If it works, After that you seriously want to consider getting a new hdd and cloning the data over and replacing the drive.

The hard drive could be packed up resulting in loss of data at the later stage if only repaired...

My advice would be to remove that HDD, plug it on a different machine as a slave to perform your backups, then format the entire hard to confirm its consistency, reinstall the OS, then restore your data.

If all that fails, replace hard drive
