Windows 10: Cumulative June Update Corrupted BCD on SSD. Any fix?

Hi all. This is a lot of information and I apologize in advance for that but I feel like too much is better than too little. Ive been limping an old computer along for a while for budgetary reasons and the most recent Windows update appears to have bricked it. This is a custom I built years ago. Core i5 3570k and a gigabyte z77-d3h motherboard. After I clicked update and shut down, the computer rebooted itself and gave me the error Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device. I went into the BIOS and the boot order was wrong - the order started with my hard drive that only had music and movies on it, the SSD had been totally removed from the list, etc - so I set it to boot from the SSD as normal. I ran into the same error. I unplugged all other drives and peripherals and did it again. Same error. I reset the BIOS to factory settings. Same error. I found my Windows 10 install DVD and tried to boot from the disk after selecting repair my computer - this gave me a disk read error. When I try to boot from the install disk, I only get the options to troubleshoot or shut down. Here are my options in the Troubleshoot menu, the only one I have, and what happens when I click them. 1. System Restore: To use System Restore, you must specify which Windows installation to restore. Restart this computer, select an operating system, and then select System Restore. 2. Command Prompt: Opens the Command Prompt. 3. System Image Recovery: Windows cannot find a system image on this computer. Attach the backup hard disk or insert the final dvd from a backup set and click Retry. Alternatively, close this dialog for more options. I am pretty good about making new system images, I think I made one a few weeks ago before I moved, but it cant find any of them, even if I plug the drives back in. 4. UEFI Firmware Settings: Restart to change firmware settings. 5. Startup Repair: Puts the computer into a reboot loop and gives me a disk read error. 6. Go back to the previous build: we ran into a problem and wont be able to take you back to the previous build. Try resetting your current build instead (Troubleshoot > Reset this PC). I do not have a reset this pc option. I have only been able to get into the command prompt. It is telling me I only have a windows installation on my F:/. This is my SSD, so that makes sense. When I go into DISKPART and type list volume the F:/ is labeled as an NFTS partition of Volume 2 and has a status of healthy. and running /bootrec fixboot gives me element not found. So that was all last night. This morning, after leaving it alone for a night, I booted up the computer and was greeted with an operating system wasnt found. I tried everything in this support article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...9-336f3888906b which didnt fix the problem, but changed it - I started getting an error saying File: Boot\BCD was in status 0xc000000f, the boot configuration data for your pc is incomplete or contains errors. I stumbled onto this thread and tried all this: Bootrec /rebuildbcd gives "Element not found." With no changes. What should I try next? I am completely stumped. I would rather not do a fresh install and lose everything as I was planning to build a new pc soon anyway, just, you know. Not RIGHT NOW. Thanks in advance.
