Help: Partition Magic made my Win 7 hard drive unbootable
I mistakingly installed Partition Magic on my Win 7 64 bit machine. When the software first loaded, it said it found errors, and I had it correct the errors. Without doing anything additional, next thing I knew I had a BSOD and when I rebooted my PC, I could not longer get into Win 7.

Did you use the 64-bit version?
Currently it's recommended to use the 6.14WIP (beta) 32-bit version.
Your disk geometry looks wrong.
The sector value might be 63.
Would it be possible to use testdisk 6.14 and upload a screen shot from TestDisk and Analyse?
If your geometry still looks wrong, you can use the menu "Geometry to correct the value at Geometry / Sector and the value is 63!
You can repeat your diagnose.
