Sadly, this doesn't fix my bootloader either although it claims to have
completed successfully. I'm quite baffled.

It has BIOS firmware. I guess there's the chance that one of my Windows
partitions got damaged, but I don't think that's the case. My primary
partition (with my Windows installation and data) is BitLocker protected,
though I don't seem to be able to unlock it from WindowsRE. If I could, I
was thinking of trying to suspend protection on the drive then let the
computer do an automatic repair, but as I say I can't unlock it from the RE
so I'd like to try fixing the bootloader first.
