Boggin:
A Google on that repeated error correction is corruption of your system which is probably why the WMI repair isn't completing.
Can you do a chkdsk without any parameters - this is a read-only mode and is entered as chkdsk
The results of this scan will remain on screen and doesn't require a reboot and where you can easily copy & paste into the reply box.
When it has finished its scan, right click in the cmd window and click on Select all then press enter.
Right click in the reply box and select Paste.
Just seen your last reply - have a look on the underside of the machine for a Microsoft sticker - generally the product key tends to fade on these.
While I don't know about Lenovo Win 7 machines, from Win 8 onwards the product key was built into the machine.
We need to know for definite if there are any bad sectors on the HDD.
EDIT - Just had a look at that link and that looks great for retrieving the product key.
selster:
good points. Will do. Think I can retrieve the product key. Will have to wait to do so, for a few hours.
Boggin:
I'm shooting off to do my evening meal now.
Forget about the Windows Repair program for now.
When you have the product key, press the Windows key+r and type Slui 3 then press enter where you will be prompted to enter that key.
This will change the product key from Lenovo's generic key which won't be accepted in a repair install.
My Win 7 is Win 7 x64 Home Premium SP1
Can you post your version - you can check what you have by going Start - right click on Computer and select Properties.
You will need to PM me your address and I'll get a couple of install disks sent off to you - one spare.
Don't post your address in the open forum.
To send me a PM click on My Messages and select Send a message and address it to Boggin
I'm not sure if I'll be able to get out to post them tomorrow but will definitely be able to on Thursday.
I'll go through the procedure for a repair install later.

This seems like a lot of errors? Is there software that can fix them?

H have win 7 professional. I have a win 7 prof CD, from microsoft. I just don't know how to use it, for repair only, that is not to reinstall windows and by the way delete everything on the HD. It's in it's envelope and has a serial number. Could I somehow use this. Lenovo has it's own software to download requisite drivers.
