Ghosted one drive to another a few weeks ago, now neither drive will boot

Recently my computer has suffered some apparently catastrophic failure. A few weeks ago I used Norton Ghost to copy the image of my Velociraptor HDD boot drive to a Samsung 830 SSD. I wanted to rename my SSD into my C drive, but still keep the Velociraptor hooked up, but couldn't find a viable way to do that, so I just set the SSD as the primary boot drive in the BIOS in the meantime.

 

Today I was troubleshooting a Windows installer issue. I have been trying to move off of AVG antivirus into Security Essentials, but couldn't uninstall AVG. Later I couldn't update iTunes either (with a Windows Installer error message), so I figured Windows Installer was the problem in both issues. After a registry edit which was suggested as a Windows Installer fix (registry backed up beforehand), I still couldn't get the installs to go through. Then, while playing Skyrim, it froze. Could not get to the Task Manager, and it was completely unresponsive. I then tried to force restart, and check the Windows install with the Windows 7 disc. It found a problem it couldn't fix, and then when I restarted to try again the video output became extremely distorted. The motherboard splashscreen appears fine, but most everything else is unreadable.

 

I cannot boot to Windows, and when I tried the Ultimate Boot CD, the menu appears like this. I thought I could just boot from the old C drive and simply reimage my SSD, with only a few weeks of files lost. I then switched the boot drive from my SSD back to my HDD, which as far as I know has not even been used since the ghosting, and found something interesting. I can boot into safe mode on the HDD. Although I did not set up any backups through Ghost, and have not touched the HDD since the ghost, I see that changes I have made on the SSD Windows installation are there when I booted into the HDD. As in, files I placed on the desktop are still there, Chrome still had the previous tabs from the last session, etc. 

 

In the last week or so, I was looking into a possible malware infection. Someone's Facebook account was hacked, and a spambot posted a link on a group that the account and I are members of, and I stupidly clicked it without reading. Since then, I have done AVG virus scans and Spybot scans, but AVG found nothing (Spybot always finds something, and I never read those reports in detail). The only other recent hardware change was a RAM upgrade a couple months ago, but I ran those through Memtest at installation with no issue.

 

I'm at wits end. I'm not really sure how to troubleshoot any further. I'm not sure that this is Ghost, but the fact that the C drive was apparently still written to is just too much to overlook. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
