A miracle happened! I had tried to the rebuildbcd command without results, but in poking around Microsoft I found a reference to the possible need to delete the bcd and back up first, then try the rebuildbcd. Amazing it seems to have worked.
Total beginners luck I would say. I may go buy a lottery ticket.
Is there anything in particular (besides uninstalling Sophos and installing AVAST which I have already done) that should be done in the way of clean up?
