NEED HELP wINDOWS 7
Boggin:
What does the screen give you ?
munchie2222:
The top of the screen highlighted in blue it
says administrator X backward slash windows backward slash system 32 backward slash CMD. EXE
The black screen says Microsoft Windows version 6.1 .7 600
X = backward slash windows backward slash system 32 in the cursor blinks waiting for a command to be typed.
Boggin:
That's the recovery environment cmd prompt - the only practical thing you could do from there is a chkdsk c: /f or /r
It may be worth running the chkdsk c: without the /f or /r switch to see how much the HDD has deteriorated, but you need to see if the Paragon disk will boot up to save any of the folders and as there are known bad sectors on the HDD, a chkdsk c: /r would probably take ages even if it could complete.
A chkdsk c: should show its report much quicker as it is a read-only mode.
munchie2222:
To get the Paragon disk to boot up what command do I use?
Boggin:
You would have enter exit to close the cmd window and see which window that takes you to, but as you managed to boot up with the repair disk, you will have to try your luck with the Paragon disk that way.
I normally have my other laptop to refresh my memory on what happens but it's in for repair.
