Shane:
Just let it run while you sleep and then tell me what it says when it is done :-)

Good morning!

I thought it would be easier to type out all the info on the Command Prompt screen, so here goes:

Usn Journal verification completed.
CHKDSK is verifying file data (stage 4 of 5)...

The good news is that when I opened Windows Explorer, C: is no longer empty. The figures are now:

B: RamDrive - 254MB with 251 MB Free Space
C: Local Disk - 51GB with 4.58 GB Free Space
D: DATA - 51GB with 9.09 GB Free Space
E: HBCD 15.2
X: Mini XP 240MB with 237MB Free Space

So is this good news or not so good news? :confused: I know that if this all gets fixed I have some serious file/photo/music deleting to do!

Not sure what US time zone you are in, so will just leave the laptop on with Windows Explorer and the Command Prompt windows open.

Bye for now :smiley:

Your hard drive is bad. You have bad sectors. So the the file system broke.

The chkdsk was able to fix the file system so you might be able to boot up windows now, and if so get your files off that drive and on to a external drive.

then you need to buy a new hard drive and reinstall windows and then you will have a proper working computer again :-)

So now reboot the computer and see if Windows boots up!
