Default NEED HELP AFTER SYS'D C:

disagreements between FAT tables are a pain- it's almost impossible to know
which one is correct. Chances are that it's FAT2 that's the right one,
but....
Since scandisk thinks FAT1 has errors, then it's probably goosed, so I'd use
the FAT2 data - let it fix the problem.
once that's done, rescan the drive, and see what it reports.

What's the EXACT error message on the screen when the startup fails?
